My question involves adoption law for the State of New York
Long version -
(TL;DR below)
Hello, my little brother f'cked up seriously and I'm trying to do some research to help guide him through his pending fatherhood.
He knocked up his girlfriend of three months(six months ago) and has no desire to be a father, nor wants to leave her to raise the child. He has come to terms that she is pretty much a horrible person and won't stay with her in the future. Her entire family is a bunch of women who got knocked up around 20 years old with no husband, she's 3rd generation of this. He wants to have an abortion or put it up for adoption. Neither of them are ready to be parents, both have crap jobs, no money, and really have minimal adult skills. Neither of them have a college degree, neither are registered voters or know anything about politics or the world around them, never done taxes, neither have their own paid health insurance, neither have a truly valuable skill developed, most adult things. Her entire family is happy for her and wants to keep the kid. My brother has the crazy idea that he is going to terminate her parenting rights and put the kid up for adoption. Is this realistically possible? Wouldn't the cost be rather large?
She is like 21, no college education, recently divorced, already on multiple forms of public assistance such as food stamps + something to pay her rent + now I believe Medicaid, has no car or savings. Has a bi-polar disorder, doesn't drink because she becomes violent, and does drugs (at least weed, probably more). So as you can tell, she's a real winner. He actually called the cops on her about a week ago because he caught her smoking weed and the next day he brought over all their bongs and bowls and smoking items to store at my house. To be fair, he still smokes and drinks, works 30 hours a week as a cook at a bar, has no savings, no plans, can't pass a drug test, had to be given a car, and I think he plans to move back home when his rent contract is up, coincidentally when the child is due. I'm sure child support is going to be costly for him. My sister asked her how she planned on supporting the child and her literal and immediate response was government programs, as she works 20 hours a week as a hostess on the other side of the city because she doesn't want to try and get a better job(no car either, so either my brother takes her or she pays friends for rides with the no money she has). But this isn't really grounds to terminate her parenting rights is it? Trying to get an understanding of his crazy idea because I am 100% certain he hasn't studied this at all. What would it take for him to be able to terminate her parenting rights? Wouldn't it take long term problems and months if not years to accomplish?
TL;DR
My brother wants to terminate his ex's parenting rights of their impending child, then put it up for adoption.
Realistically possible? Under what grounds? How much would it cost? How long would it take?
Thank you so much for all of your responses.
