Your parents cannot keep your baby unless you agree. If the baby’s father wants to parent and you agree, he can file for paternity and get custody of the baby after the child is born. If you do not want the baby’s father to parent, but he obtains an attorney and files for paternity, you may need to retain an attorney. This can be explored with Catholic Charities.

How alcohol affects the male sperm is currently being studied. Whatever the effects are found to be, they are not FASDs. FASDs are caused specifically by the mother’s alcohol use during pregnancy.

He can encourage her abstinence from alcohol by avoiding social situations that involve drinking. He can also help her by avoiding alcohol himself. Source: Lupton C, Burd L, Harwood R.

Under Indiana law, a man has the right to know he has been named as the father of a child for whom adoption is being considered. An adoption cannot proceed until the birthfather’s parental rights have been terminated. There are a number of ways those rights can be terminated; the adoption specialist can explain them to you. A birthfather may also choose to voluntarily relinquish his parental rights.

In Colorado, birthfathers do have some legal rights. At LFS they have the opportunity to participate in counseling to understand their options as well as your intentions. If birthfathers choose not to take an active role, you can still make your own decisions about your pregnancy.

In some instances, the local court may use information they have to decide paternity without him. If paternity is established without the alleged father’s cooperation, the court may order him to pay child support no matter where he lives, even if he is out of California. If you don’t establish paternity, your child will not be able to get child support or health insurance even after the alleged father gets a job.

We will be informed when the baby appears on our newborn rounding list provided by the hospital where your baby is born or when you call to schedule the baby’s two week checkup.

You are not alone. Many pregnant women do not know exactly who the father of their baby is or how to locate him and that is OK.

Kira's pregnancy was introduced in the fourth season episode "Body Parts" in order to account for the real-life pregnancy of actress Nana Visitor (the father, interestingly enough, is DS9 castmate Alexander Siddig, who plays Dr. Julian Bashir). Rather fancifully, the producers decided to make Kira a surrogate mother by having Keiko O'Brien, the expectant wife of the station's Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien, injured on an away mission with Kira and Dr. Bashir.

The desire to communicate on the part of the child is brought about, even “authorized”, by the mother; even so, the reassuring image that she represents, while it may serve as a basis for the elaboration of language, does not provide the keys that will make language a tool of social communication. The relationship with the mother gives the child the confidence, the strength, and the desire to move toward the outside world, and thus toward the father.

If we know who he is, and we can locate him, he does have a right to know about the adoption. At times, a Birthfather may be hesitant about adoption at first, but then realizes that he may not have the time or resources to parent the child. Usually he just needs reassurance that he will not be shut out of the adoption process and can be involved if he chooses. We will speak to him for you if you would prefer and guide him through the adoption process.

Minnesota: As with the question above, they can contact Social Services. Minnesota has laws that preserve the rights of fathers. The Safe Place for Newborns law did not change any laws regarding father's rights. Minnesota: No newborn will be turned away.

Across the United States: Safe Haven laws are not intended as a refuge for someone who abuses a newborn.
