So....you want to one up me on the smart arsed comments, eh.This isn't the case in the rape, which as typical with pro-life initiatives, appears to not be a consideration at all. Secondly, I'm not sure I really agree. No one else but me is responsible for where my sperm drops. Even if I engage in sex, I have virtually zero chance of being impregnated
Let's agree that a rapist gains no parental rights.
And we'll restrict our discussion to fathers & mothers who voluntarily created the ankle biter.
That is an interesting point.But the mother could just keep the child and never inform anyways?
Does a man have no fundamental right to raise a child he fathered?
Does he only have the obligation to pay for raising it when the state or the mother invoke this?
Woo hoo! Detente!Fair enough. Notice makes sense for the purpose addition with (if notice is practical) emphasized.
After an adoption, the father could perhaps legally regain custody (this happens, as I recall).After an adoption?
This would pose a risk to adoptive parents.
Can he be hit up for child support in such a case? IDK.
To publish "sexual behaviors" would be a ridiculous requirement."Many adoptions take place without involving the birthfather in any way. He might not receive any counseling, choose the adoptive parents, meet the adoptive parents, see the baby, or sign any papers. But regardless of his participation, he has the same rights as the birthmother. In other words, a birthfather is that child's father unless he voluntarily relinquishes his rights as a parent or has his rights terminated by the court.
All of this is well and good — provided that the man who fathered the child is aware that he has a child and is available when the adoption decisions are made so that he can be involved. But what happens when a man doesn't discover until after the fact that he fathered a child and that child is now in an adoptive home? Or when he hits the road and isn't around to give his consent to the adoption plan that the birthmother makes? These situations, and others like them, directly affect what has to happen before the child becomes available for adoption and how much risk is involved. The following sections show you what you need to know.
All reputable agencies and attorneys follow certain procedures to ensure that the birthfathers, if they can be located, are aware of the adoption plans and know their rights. And if the birthfathers can't be located, these agencies and attorneys make sure you're aware of the risks involved going forward. Anyone who tells you not to worry about the birthfather because he's not around, doesn't know about the pregnancy or adoption plan, or just "isn't interested" in what's going on is playing with fire — and the house that may burn down is yours. Every adoption that proceeds without the birthfather's consent carries a degree of risk. The particular situation determines how much risk. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

This is I don't understand. Seems frivolous to me. If I was a woman, I'd just get an abortion then. Certainly I agree with an attempt to contact. Publishing your sexual behaviors the night in question in hopes someone recognizes that one night is so beyond absurd.
Does anyone actually advocate that....or is it a histrionic restatement of something else?
To publish a list of potential fathers would be more reasonable.
But even that doesn't appeal to me.
A better process is needed.
