i said "no." once you have a kid, they should always come first. the only time they shouldn't is if it means that the kid will benefit in the long term.
for example, if a parent has the opportunity for a new, better paying job but it means not being aroudn teh child as much for a little while, but means being able to better support them.
or... if the parent really can't give the child what they need so the kid has a good, healthy upbringing, then giving them to someone else who can and will care for them.
i'm assuming you have this choice before you right now. you're child should come first. this person may be the love of your life right now, but it could end. a child/parent relationship lasts a lifetime.
