If you do some research I think you’ll find that this is a racket run in the State of Utah, backed by law and facilitated by certain elements within a religious sect.
Last I read, somebody was making a big tado about it and a lawsuit was emerging, but I never followed up.
Yea looks like women from around the country were coming to Utah and putting their children up for adoption because Utah didn’t need the father’s consent.
They changed the law last year so the mother had to be a resident of Utah for 90 days. That didn’t help in this case because they already were Utah residents.
Because of that religious sect, I would never live anywhere in Utah.
