We all knew it was impossible but since he liked her.. she was long gone once she popped that baby out! Never to be seen again. On to the next. I had taken her out one day (while alcoholic penniless painter guy (friend) was supposed to be at work) to a very wealthy friend of mine where she relaxed and told me the whole story..

[@cks7548]

I feel like women should have more of say than men do when it comes to putting their kids up for adoption. Women are the ones had to carry the baby in their body for 9 months. When it comes to creating a baby, men only contribute a few chromosomes. Women pretty much do all of the work when it comes to creating a baby, and the child gets nearly all of its DNA from the mother. The child barely gets any of the father's DNA. You get more DNA from your mother than your father. Also, your mom not only gave you more DNA (you’ve got her mitochondrial DNA too), but also provided you with every molecule that made up your body until birth. A man only contributes one cell to a baby. All the materials to make a baby are supplied by the woman.

[@MrPalps]

​It takes 2 to tango bud, I suspect your wrong about most of that chromosome crap, but even if it's true that he gave only one cell, it's still his kid, he's the Dad and should have a say, the idea that mom's should have more parental rights is ridiculous, it's sexist, and it's ignorant to the pain dad's go through, and it opens the door for women to get away with shit like this where they basically steal the kid away from the dad and never let him fulfill his hearts obligation to his child.​@@cks7548

[@cks7548]

@@sammysuave558 The father is not fifty percent responsible for the birth of the baby. He only contributes a little DNA (since the Y chromosome is shorter than the X) and nothing else to the development or birth of the baby. The mother contributes a lot more DNA than the father does. The pregnant woman supplies the container, growth medium, blood, oxygen, nutrients, proteins, calcium, waste disposal and everything else required to build the baby, molecule by molecule, cell by cell, organ by organ. I don’t see the father having to give up alcohol, endure 3 months of nausea, vomiting and exhaustion, watch what he eats, attend multiple medical appointments where he is poked, prodded, weighed, examined and scanned, watch as his body stretches and changes unrecognizably and in some ways permanently, grow to be extremely uncomfortable and unwieldy, labor agonizingly for 12-48 hours, or be cut open, or experience the excruciating tearing of tissue in order for the baby to be born. And that is just a normal pregnancy, let alone facing all the considerable potential health risks involved, many life-threatening. How many men do you know who are 100% financially responsible for their children? In this day and age, it is almost impossible for a family to survive on only one income, so in addition to all the labor of building and birthing and feeding the baby, the mother usually works outside the home, too. As for divorced fathers, 25% report paying child support only “some of the time” or “not at all.” Meanwhile, of the average monthly cost of raising a child of $1,334 per month, the median child support men pay is $354 per month.

Half of them only take a child in cause they know theyre going to get paid for it. At the end of the day, you just never know whose going to do right by a child until its time for them to actually do right by the child. So if the biological mom was willing to let her child be adopted by people she does not know, why not give the biological father a chance? If he dont do right, she can take her child back. But if the adoptive parents dont do right by the child, its nothing she can do. The baby belongs to them. This is why men dont put up a fight cause ppl like you judge them. If the bio mom say he's a dead beat, y'all fall for it. So why automatically take the bio mom's side? When again you just don't know. If hes been fighting this hard for this long, how is he unfit?

I agree. No baby should be allowed to be adopted unless there is consent by both father and mother (except in the cases where the mother was raped by someone). The other thing is that, yes, the fathers' rights were violated BUT as we saw with Jessica Deboer, yanking a child out from the only parents (adoptive) they have ever known is CRUEL -- beyond CRUEL. Still, the father does have a right to know and spend time with that child but I'm also against yanking that child out of a home they love. Jessica DeBoer is a very troubled young woman now -- I can't help thinking she shutdown when she was yanked from the Deboers and handed over to her bio father (who had married her mother). It's not the child's fault the law FAILED the father -- because the child NEVER should have been allowed to be adopted without his consent.

No, they leave the mothers. Leaving the mother is not abandoning the child, as you see above women and courts see children as property of the mother....and usually NEVER give fair visitation rights.

How can those adoptive parents not give his daughter to him?!? This is crazy! 🙏🏼

[@tammierandall864]

The adoptive agency is probably lying to them. They might not even know.

[@eyebleached]

How do you think the child is going to feel? The father is just a stranger to her at this point. She won’t understand. That’s why.

[@lichi1244eva]

That's easier said than done as the girl has had 2 years with her APs. Kids are resilient but I'm sure that option would be devastating for the little girl. I'm surprised at how comparatively little ire is being directed to the birth mom who planned this relinquishment months in advance without his knowledge. That's cruel!

[@CallMeWhenPgzFly]

You keep fighting for that baby girl of yours, you got this!

[@gail9299]

For him to be told that his baby had died was beyond evil. As long as the DNA shows he's the Father, references checked, police records etc etc then 100% he should have custody. As someone else said, when the baby girl finds out how he fought for her, she will turn on everyone who tried to prevent it, including her adoptive parents. Do the right thing!! ** Just a thought, will that daughter be able to sue in the future? Don't know how it works in US. That may make a difference to all parties 🤞 **

[@BlairingWitches]

I know that there are adoptive children who have sued before, but I don't know what the outcome of any of those cases were. Likely settlements, since it's something that's not talked about.

[@MoonLady-d5w]

Reference checks for what? Police records for what? If he's biologically her father then there's no need for reference checks and police records checks. No other dad has reference checks and police checks when their children are born so why should he be treated differently?

[@BlairingWitches]

@@MoonLady-d5w If your child is involved with a state agency, of which adoption agencies are typically considered part of by proxy, then you may have to be able to prove that you are fit to have that child to get them once they have left the custody of the other parent. It's like when a kid is taken from their mom by CPS, the dad has to submit for background checks to make sure that he doesn't have any current warrants or pending charges and that they are not on an offender registry somewhere.

[@yakopanen6596]

Yea if this guy didn't have any previous outstanding legal issues or criminal records, there's 0 reason for his background to be checked. Obviously the mother is unstable and can't seem to tell the truth, so at least she's not attempting to keep custody. If the father never gets custody, chances are this girl will not find out about her real parents until at least the age of 10, around a teenager is when most adoptive parents break the bandaid off or kids find out on there own. And if she can sue anyone, likely she wont be able to do anything until shes at least 18. This country gives children no say in anything

That’s actually a complete lie. If the father can’t be located, you have to make public notice (in the newspaper) searching for the father. After a certain number of months, parental rights are automatically terminated.

​@@cometasporelcieloExcept that this father lost his rights by deception. She didn't need to search for him, she knew exactly where he was. According to Florida law he automatically lost his right since they weren't married, and she lied and said he wasn't supporting the pregnancy. So what part of this man's story tells u he lost his rights bc the mother was unable to find him? It seems u are the one who is wrong.
