Re: custody of child
It is legally possible (but not probable) that an unwed father of yet-to-be-born child, resulting from a on0sight stand with the child's unwed mother, MIGHT get custody, depending on a lot of facts and circumstances (too detailed to even begin to discuss here).
If the mother wants to surrender the child for adoption, she should contact an adoption agency ASAP to get more info and start the process. Suggest Boys and Girls Aid Society.
