Thank you both for your replies and time!
She wants me apart of babies life and to be a parent to him/her. She, (the mom) wants to relocate to a place close to me but immigration isn't cheap, nor is it a fast process by any standards.
Plus I could not see her family just let her up and leave and then they not see their grandchild.
Then there's the issues I was dealing before this ever came about: I'm currently in a custody battle for my son that I have now that has been going on for 3 years almost and has sucked most of my money dry. Not that my son isn't worth it, its just been rough financially and this by no means was even slightly planned. I feel completely disappointed in myself for allowing myself to be in the situation after dealing with courts for years and learning how bad things can get.
I just never expected this in the life of me.
I'll support this baby and attempt to give it emotional support if you even can at such a distance. How I can, I don't know, but I could try. If I could, be apart of its life frequently, I would in a a second, but I just don't know how good of a parent is if he's only on Skype chatting.
The other issue is with my current son. I can't just leave the country with him because we currently have joint custody and need his mom's permission. If she says nope, then I can't take him which sucks.
I'm at a loss truly, but me and mom are talking at least and who knows what may end up happening in the end.
