Has anyone here signed over their parental rights? And if so, why did you do it?

Nope-never did, never would. I was the better parent. Whether my kids always thought so or not!

I would never sign them over. I could understand if a parent was not involved, and the involved parent were getting married and his/her partner wanted to adopt the child....then the not involved but legally responsible parent might be willing to sign off rights....but not me personally.

I couldn't. To lose a moment with them would hurt me more than them.

I just wanted to know if anyone had done it. I did it because I left the country.

Looks like you're back in the country now. How do you feel now about having done it?

Lake-- Sounds like you did it for a specific reason. Was it in case something happens to you while you're gone? If so, wouldn't a will take care of that? Did you actually sign away your rights, or just give guardianship to someone while you are gone? Not sure where you are at, but here in Illinois those are two different things.

You should see a lawyer because it may not be good in your situation to sign over all rights. Signing over gaurdianship may be all you need to do. You seriously should see a lawyer in this situation to cover all your bases so your kids can be covered should they need medical consents or anything. A legal matter for sure.

I am also very confused as to why anyone would do this, as like many others I would NEVER abandon my kids, especially just because I was leaving the country. Mine come with.

Never, ever, EVER. My kid comes first, always and regardless of everything else. I honestly can't understand how any parent could feel differently. Especially mothers.

I signed over everything to their father. I did not know if I would be coming back. And I did not abandon them at all. I keep in contact with them all the time.

And why are you going to India if I may ask? Do you have some pressing engagement over there to have to leave your kids here?

A job and possibly a new love interest.

Still don't see why you had to ditch your kids.

A job and possibly a new love interest. So you're ditching your own kids for a new love interest? I mean, no job in India can be better paid than ANY job here.
Know what? You should be ashamed of yourself. What you're doing is despicable.

I don't mean to sound nasty or hateful, but....
If you are willing to give up your children for some guy in India, your kids are better off without you! I hope they have a great DAD who gives them the life they truly deserve... Wow... Now I truly have heard everything!
