Re: adoption procedures

You asked about adoption of a child without consent of the biological father.

If this question was posed by the same person who asked question number 211337940 you need to speak with an attorney immediately.

While a father named on a birth certificate is presumptive a natural father would have an unalienable right to intervene or contest a potential adoption.

This is not a matter that one should go through without an attorney.
