Unwed Fathers and Their Newborn Children Placed for Adoption: Protecting the Rights of Both in Custody Disputes

Abstract

Treatment of unwed fathers' rights in adoption proceedings vary from state to state and from court to court. This note proposes a two step process to be uniformly implemented in custody disputes between unwed fathers and adoptive parents. This two step process is proposed as an attempt to protect the rights of both the biological father and his child who has been placed for adoption. Along with a plea for uniformity among the courts this note argues that whatever procedure is implemented courts must resolve these disputes in a fast and efficient manner.
