the womb mother may have the girl for now but someday she’ll come looking for her biological mother
as Mom of an adoptee, I know
Bio Mom must be really screwed up for the courts to not have at least given her visitation, aka “daddy” privilgegs
I was thinking the same thing, but didn’t post it. The child will one day search for the bio mom, and may not be happy that the birth mom kept her from bio mom.
Sad that they couldn’t work it out for the child’s sake.
Regarding “daddy rights,” I thought so too at first but the bio-mother’s name was not on the birth certificate, so she has no legal parental rights. She’s trying to get those rights. However, she wants the court to say that she is the mother rather than simply add her name to the birth certificate as co-parent.
As a side note, I don’t believe states should have to put gay couples names on birth certificates if they do not permit same-sex marriage. But LA was recently forced to do just that for a New York adoption by a gay couple.
That IS the curious part, isn't it?
