If biological father did not legitimize child through a superior court Order, he has absolutely no right to keep child None, whatsoever
Unless the father has legitimized the child and has a court order for custody and visitation he has no right to see the child and is essentially a kidnapper, who can go to jail for interference with custody or kidnapping.
