Okk...hab grad was gefunden...in den Staaten scheint es tatsæchlich leichter zu sein die Adoption ohne ihn durchzuziehen...
Rights of biological fathers. Notice to the biological father is usually required if he does not voluntarily relinquish his rights. The rights of a father who has legitimated the child by marriage or legal action must be terminated in the same manner as those of the mother. The rights of an alleged biological father who has not established legal parentage may be terminated in most states based on notice that his rights will end unless he takes specific steps to establish a legal relationship with the child. States vary as to the burden he must meet if he wants to contest the adoption.
Und dabei hatte ich diese "Rechte" gefunden...
Even if an alleged father objects to the adoption, he is rarely in a legal position to block the adoption from happening. This is true even if he wants to raise the child himself, or wants a family member to raise the child. An alleged biological father must take specific legal steps in a very timely fashion to establish and preserve his parental rights. In most cases, he can block the adoption only if he meets one of the strict legal requirements listed below:
1. You are married to him, or were married to him within 300 days of the child’s birth.
2. He has received the child into his home and has publicly acknowledged that the child as his own.
3. You and the birth father have both signed a Voluntary Declaration of Paternity to have him listed as the father on the child’s birth certificate. Hospital personnel often insist that you sign this form at the time of the child’s birth, but you are not required to do so and should NOT do so if you are planning to place the child for adoption.
4. Within a short time after he knew or should have known about the pregnancy, he has done everything possible to take care of you and the child, both emotionally and financially.
Except for the four circumstances listed above, the alleged biological father’s consent to the adoption is not required. Still, notice to him is always required, assuming we can locate him. And once he knows about the adoption, he does have the right to file a legal action to ask the court to stop the adoption. As a practical matter, however, most alleged fathers never take this step, even those who seem very adamant about preventing the adoption.
Even in the rare case where an alleged father files the legal paperwork on time, the great majority of these claims are denied because the man has not fulfilled his pre-birth responsibilities to the mother or to the child. The court then allows the adoption to go forward without his consent and over his objective
Es ist zwar auch schwer, aber nicht unmöglich.....kommt wohl auch noch auf den Staat an
