Pregnant and wanting to put the baby up for adoption. Does the dad have to know?

Question

So my sister got pregnant in Oregon by a total deat beat. She knows his full name and how to contact him, but she doesn't want to. She wants this baby to go to a good home. She's living in Utah again and looking into adoption. Does she have to tell the father? What if he finds out, can he undo an adoption?

Answer 1

You can tell your sister she will be able to speak to an agency and tell them his name and address and they will get him to sign the papers to terminate his rights as the father. I am sure that if he is a ddead beat, he won't want to parent the child. She doesn't have to worry about contacting or speaking to him herself if she doesn't want to - the agency will do it for her.

My husband and I are a loving, active and happy married couple with two beautiful kitties who live in Southeastern Michigan. We are home study approved waiting to adopt a newborn to love and cherish for the rest of our lives. We do not have any children, and are praying that our dream of being parents becomes a reality.

We live near greatest schools, parks and libraries.  We love to be outdoors, camping in our travel trailer, walking the beaches and swimming in lakes, spending happy times with our families and making memories at home. We look forward to sharing all of these wonderful things with a child.

Please visit our website www.MostLovingFamily.com, where you and your sister can learn more about us, read our birth mother letter and see our slideshow.  Our parent profile is also at http://www.parentprofiles.com/profiles/db26802.html

Our agency can take care of whatever your sister needs them to do. We hope to hear from your sister wish her peace in her heart and mind as she makes her decision.

Answer 2

Yes, the dad does have to know.  But if they decide to put the baby up for adoption let me know.  My husband & I are unable to have kids and are in the process of trying to find a baby to adopt, but no success yet.  Tell, her to hang in there and do the right thing, by law first.

Answer 3

you should tell the dad , if he is a deadbeat he will most likely agree to the adoption. If she is looking to place the baby in a good home , please contact me.
