Adoption
What rights does the birthfather have of a child if the birthmother has chosen to adopt out? How long would the average custody battle last and where would the child be until the case is closed?

Re: Adoption
If the adoption has not happened and the birthfather has not consented to it, the father needs to petition for paternity and custody as soon as possible. You should consult with an attorney if you haven't done so already.
