How is that different for the biological father? It would be OK for him to live out his life knowing that his child was taken from him?
Preventing this outcome is simple. Don’t sleep with lying whores.
What is really perverse is that pro-abortion advocates will say an abortion would have prevented heart ache of all parties involved.
What a perverse, wicked, evil generation we live in.
They have known about the biological father for the last 1 1/2 years. If they loved the child, they would have done the right thing.
If I steal your baby, sell it to muslims, and they raise him or her for 2 years, would it be OK for them to keep the baby? You know, since it is the only parent the baby knew?
Of course not.
Why?
the NON-adoptive parents were attempting to obtain title via a lie.
They are total strangers to this child. There is no need or reason to include them.
The child has a father and the father stepped up and was counted when it mattered.
Ridiculous example, but I got your point.
The child must have been born in early 2009. Therefore, I think the child is young enough to not suffer too much from the dislocation from her adoptive parents.
If the child was 3 or 4 I would say the opposite.
I have seen too many slimy lawyers who say delay is your ally to adoptive parents. It is like the kid who kills his parents and then asks for mercy because he/she is an orphan.
I am always surprised how many pro-life people are more than willing to impose a paternal abortion via court order.
If it was me and I was advising the father, I would recommend that he include the almost adoptive parents in the child’s life because I believe that that would be in the best interests of the child but the father has a right to know and raise his child.
If the child was 17 and 264 days, the answer must not change.
“Prosecute the mother for her fraud, but do not harm the child by removing it from who it considers to be its parents.”
And what of the rights of the father? When exactly did he surrender those?
Maybe, but we don't really know much about the dad and whether he is a responsible adult. I can see a situation where the adoptive parents thought both biological parents were nuts and thought they were doing what was best for the baby.
Also, as a dad who ended up with custody of an 18 month son 27 years ago, I can safely say the process should never ever be about the parents. My rights were the last thing I cared about.
It is also unfortunate that the father, through blatant disregard for anything but a quick lay, knocked up this dishonest and calculating whore.
Is the father employed and fit to parent the child? Can he provide a stable, loving home?(I couldn’t figure that out from the article)
Goodness has nothing to do with this. The biological father wants his child. That child is his. It’s extremely difficult for the adoptive parents, agreed, and for the child too.
I know he had enough chutzpah to fight this from the start, family to back him, and money to pay lawyers.
That’s pretty much all I need to know.
He probably paid $100K to lawyers for a trial and appeal.
His parents and sister backed him up.
Probably pretty damn stable.
Following the link and reading further, looks like the father has moved in with another woman and they also have a child now. It says they “plan to get married when they have the money for a formal wedding”..
So he shouldn’t have his child because he’s shacking up?
If that was the stanard, 1/2 of the children in this country would be taken from their homes.
As a vetern of multiple adoptions, including one which resulted in a baby taken from us and returned to an unstable birthmother, I can attest adoption law (and many of the folks involved in the process) are a disaster. No shock to see Bethany in the middle of this.
Actually, that’s not accurate. Until the mid to late 20th century, unmarried fathers had no rights.
