In reply to the discussion: Father will be reunited with baby adopted without his knowledge, judge rules [View all]davidthegnome
(2,983 posts)If there is a valid reason - use the legal system. If the man is abusive, alcoholic, or for some reason incapable of raising a child, a Judge is likely to rule in the Mother's favor, or in the favor of the adoptive parents, as the case may be. As I said earlier, parents rights are terminated when there is valid reason for doing so. Unless you're arguing that any woman should have the right to completely exclude the Father from the child's life, for any reason she pleases. If that is your point of view, then there really wouldn't be much point in us debating the issue because I could never agree with such a notion.
In this case there doesn't appear to be any particular reason (at least none that was mentioned) for the Mother's actions. That is, giving a child up for adoption without the Father's knowledge or consent. Why keep a child from a man who is her biological Father and wants to raise her? Unless he is a criminal or in some way abusive or incapable... then I can find no valid reason other than spite, which is understandable, but not legally justifiable.
