Help me🙃🙃

Okay, so long story short, I had a baby with a guy almost 3 years ago. His name wasn’t on the birth certificate, he never paid child support, he hasn’t seen or asked about my daughter in a year.

My husband who has been in my daughters life since she was 9 months old wants to adopt her. She calls him daddy, loves him like he’s her daddy (he is because that’s all she’s known.) when her biological dad was seeing her he’d see her few and far between and every time she had to go over there she screamed her head off and cried.

So I called and got a consultation with an attorney today. She told me I need to have her biological dad sign his rights away or we could do an involuntary adoption that would take a lot more time and money. Her biological dad is the kind of person who would say no and try to be father of the year just out of spite. So I’m scared to ask him but it would be so much easier on us.

My question to you is, ladies, what would you do?
