David Archuletta says he knew his former girlfriend was pregnant in 2001, but she told him the baby was stillborn.

More than a year later, she told him the truth -- that she had given birth after traveling to New Jersey from their home in Colorado, and turned over the baby for adoption.

It would be nice to see the mother charged with kidnapping.

The child has been already put up for adoption. What's done is done. I'm all for father's rights, but the fact of the matter is that the child has already been adopted to a couple.

He should leave the kid with the adoptive parents, he cannot properly care for it with Parkinsons and he lives off his mother.

He may even be looking for a payoff that isnt unknown either.

Perhaps the parents of the child would allow some sort of visitation.

"Children of the World didn't do nothing to find me," said Archuletta, 46....Archuletta said he has no money to pay an attorney.

Hmmm. Can't speak English, has Parkinson's disease and lives with his mother, and has no money. Yes, the activist courts should definitely place the child with him and the taxpayer should foot the lawyer's bill.

Right.

She could have had an abortion without his knowledge.

Later, but still months before the adoption was completed, Candelaria sent a letter to the adoptive parents asking for more money for expenses and threatening to tell the child's father about the adoption if the couple did not comply, according to DHS records.

So... she SOLD her baby. That's why she didn't tell the birth father. So she could SELL HIM. Good grief.

Clearly this wasn't right, but I hope the father doesn't decide to overturn the adoption. Taking the child away from the only parents he's ever known would be an even greater wrong, IMO.

Maybe this man should've married the woman when he found out she was pregnant, or not had unprotected sex with her in the first place...but she sounds like a nasty dishonest person to begin with, so I think he and the child are both better off without her in their lives.

After reading this thread, I wonder how many people think I shouldn't have had a baby in 2002 because of my multiple sclerosis?

Imagine you and your significant other adopt a child. Raise him for a few years to have that child ripped from your arms and "given back" to his or her biological parent. Once an adoption happens it's final. That's horrible, you don't just "take back" a child.



What about the adoptive father? Does he have rights?

He did impregnate a woman he barely knew. I guess he's lucky he doesn't live in a time he could be charged with abandonment, sedcution, or something.

According to the article, the couple (and their attorney) knew that the birth father had no idea about a pending adoption of his son, so I doubt they were surprised at this.

Apparently you're not really for fathers rights. A fraud was perpetrated here...

mother probably knew this guy was a no good loser and put the child up for adoption for its own good.

At what point in the process of being screwed by the system and his ex- do you expect the real father to roll over?

How do you expect to codify that point in time?

Hey, it's a woman's right to choose. Right?

Are you really as foolish as you sound? Or is it an immature attempt to elicit shock?

I believe that a father should have absolute rights to determine what is done with his child before birth, but unfortunately this is not the case. However, once the child is born, the father has absolute legal rights and a child cannot be adopted without his consent or a court order.
