Parental rights has always meant the Mother’s rights. It’s about time Father’s rights were figured into the equation.
Why must the relationship now end? Are adoptive parents not as good as bio parents?
Prosecute the mother for her fraud, but do not harm the child by removing it from who it considers to be its parents.
This is so sad. I feel sorry for the little girl and her adoptive parents. they are the victims of that awful “Mother”. I hope Father can get this kid the help she needs because she is going to need it.
The solution to this problem is Christ. The more kids have a personal relationship with Him the less outside of marriage sex there would be. The less outside of marriage sex means less babies born into these types of situations. Unfortunate all around.
One of the primary reasons I stopped doing family law: everybody hurts everybody and the kids suffer. Best I could tell, there was never a true winner in any of my cases.

The double standard says any child support required of the mother will never have to be paid.
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.
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)
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.
If the transition is smoothe, I hope the father is psychologically mature enough to include “Aunt and Uncle” [the parents wanting to adopt his child] in their lives. Occasional visits, photos, cards and gifts.
He could ask them to be his daughter’s Godparents!
but does this signal a change?...maybe....
it does mean that now fathers will pay no matter what...which maybe is a good thing....they will not be able to shirk their duties even if they fall out of love or find a new bimbo, they will pay for their children all the time....
so we don't need to hear anymore about how oppressive the courts are in handing out child support to the daddys....
another point....maybe next time instead of carrying the baby for 9 months mommy will simply abort........

I am an adult adoptee. I love my adopted parents and I had a good life. But my biological father didn’t know about me because my biological mother simply didn’t want him to. revenge for not loving her? who knows. Either way because they weren’t married she was allowed to give me away to strangers without him being contacted.
Now, as a middle aged woman who has met my biological (who would have kept me had he known)father I can say that it would have been wonderful to have been raised in a family in which I had so much in common. Looks, behavior, etc...
Being adopted comes with its own set of problems. It is a wonderful institution and it serves a purpose. To give homes to children that no one wants. NOT to give homes to children that are stolen from their parents.
