Giving up paternal rights?

My 3 year olds biological father wants to reliquish all rights to her. I am not sure how I feel about this. He has only seen her 3 times in her life, he owes me over 5 thousand dollars in support, and I am getting married to a man who my daughter calls "dad" in about a year. Has anyone else gone through this? What do I have to do to get this thing rolling? Do I do anything? What do you all think about this subject?

If this is what he wants it will be his loss. I just don't understand how any, I'll say man; not father, would not want to be in his child's life. He should grow up quick and realize what he is saying. Did he have a father in his life? When your daughter grows up, I hope you will tell her who her real father is. He will have some big time explaining to do!! She has the right to know. Good luck..

His dad was not in his life. And I am going to tell her when she is older about him. Thank you for the input!
