The birth father does have every legal right to parent the child. He cannot be left out of the adoption plan.

 

AOW will do everything possible to reach a birth father prior to the birth of the baby. You wil be kept informed about the progress of any such attempts. Birth father contact often happens after a baby is born and that can often be stressful for adoptive parents. It is helpful to be prepared to meet with a potential birth father(s) after the baby's birth and keep transitional care as an option if the birth father's consent is questionable.
