Don’t want to go into too much detail in case I follow through with any of the illegal suggestions. I was given a rough 4-6 months to live. My spouse passed during child birth so it has been my son and I for the last couple years.

My parents passed right after my high school days in a traffic accident and my wife’s mom passed when she was a baby. Her dad kicked her out at 18 and she didn’t even know where he has been for the rest of her life.

The CC is already maxed having gone from dual income to single income. The car I still have is paid off but old. Only 10 years into my 30 year mortgage. Most of the savings has gone to child care when I can’t be there for my son. I make about 50K after taxes.

I am still trying to figure out who my son will end up with. I don’t know any of my extended family or my wife’s. I have some friends but no one I can trust with him, at this point I am thinking of going to the state to maybe start early adoption?!?

What can I do to help my son financially with little to no resources at the moment? I don’t care if it is illegal as long as it can’t be taken from my son?

UPDATE: Thank you everyone, I am going to put my son down and do some more research. If you believe in a higher power please put in the good word for my son.
