Question:

My girlfriend and I broke up 3 weeks ago because she is moving back to Korea with her family. She recently told me she is two months pregnant. I had this confirmed.

She wants nothing from me financially or legally. All she wants is for me to voluntarily terminate my parental rights. Is this necessary if the child is born in another country and I am not listed on the birth certificate? Can this be done and accepted in court before the child is actually born?
