Re: Parental rights
He should sign a sworn affidavit that he is the father of the children, giving details regarding the children (age, name, birthplace, etc), and that he relinquishes all parental rights forever, and consents to the adoption of the children by a specific person, giving details re the person (name, address, etc).

Re: Parental rights
Unlike property, a parent may not validly give away his or her children. The exception is where an adoption is contemplated. In that event a consent must be signed and a Petition must be filed with the Circuit Court terminating rights.
