If you want to give your child to someone to adopt, does the biological father have to consent?

First you need an attorney to sort this out. A DNA test will confirm whether you are the father or not. That will determine what happens next.

I hate to be a nay sayer here but after 12 years and the fact that her husband signed the birth certificate, you're not going to get very far. Were your rights violated? YUP will a DNA test do you any good?

Peace of mind maybe, but as for going to court I think its a waste of money. They will drag it out for another few years and then she will be so close to legal age what would be the use. If you report the adoptive parents all you will accomplish is getting her removed and put into foster care.

It doesn't guarantee custody just because you have a DNA test. She belongs to the state at that point. I'd get the DNA test.

I'd be asking a lawyer about suing the mother. How nice. Your kid that she hid from you, was in the way of her new marriage so she pawned the kid off on her in laws.

And NOW its an unstable environment? ETA: Linny G has a point about it being a hot topic right now. I'd draw as much attention to it as possible, without hurting the child.

It would be helping future fathers who this happens to, and sadly it happens all the time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
