[CA] Is it possible for me to voluntarily terminate my parental rights to my baby at birth so the father can raise it without me being on the hook for child support?

The father wants to parent, but I do not. He's asking me not to have an abortion. In order to consider not having an abortion I'd need a guarantee that I'd be free from any responsibility, I wouldn't have to pay child support, he wouldn't be able to change his mind on parenting alone and force custody on me, I wouldn't have to raise it in the event of him not being able to parent for whatever reason. Is there any way to voluntarily terminate my parental rights at birth and give him the baby?
