How exactly did your son's father terminate his rights?

Parental rights are never terminated simply because one parent doesn't want to be a parent.  And generally to terminate a parent's rights requires that someone else adopt the child.

If the father simply gave you sole custody, this does not mean his parental rights and responsibilities were terminated.
