Can I Place My Baby for Adoption Without the Birth Father’s Consent?

Does the Baby’s Father Have to Know About the Adoption?

At Adoption Advocates, we believe it is in everyone’s best interest to terminate the biological father’s rights before your baby is placed with an adoptive family. You put a lot of thought and care into your adoption plan and in choosing a stable, loving family for your child. Legally terminating the biological father’s parental rights helps to protect the future you chose for him or her.

If you are not currently in contact with your baby’s biological father – and don’t want to be – Adoption Advocates can handle all issues surrounding termination of his rights for you. That’s part of why we’re here.

What If I’m Not Sure Who the Biological Father Is?

If you aren’t sure who the father is, don’t worry. This is not an uncommon situation, and you will still be able to move forward with your adoption plan. Your adoption specialist will discuss your specific situation and can explain the different ways you can move forward.

No matter what the situation is with your baby’s biological father, you are not alone. Your adoption specialist will be with you every step of the way to take care of the details, so you can focus on making choices for you and your child’s future.
