Adoption rulings may boost birth father's rights - If the guy doesn't want the adoption to go forward, all he has to do is file a paternity suit. (Ohio)

So if the mother of your child does not notify you during the pregnancy, birth or before 30 days after birth and the child is registered but not in a adopted family you still can't halt it as the father? What the hell

Patrick Hamilton, a Columbus adoption lawyer, said the rulings could create "a race to the courthouse" to see which is filed first - the adoption petition or the paternity suit.

She says that like its a bad thing. Why?

You would think that lawyers involved in family court would be praising anything that got fathers to claim paternity, and thus the obligation to support their children, seeing how often we hear what a problem dead beat dads are!

Would she rather have men abandon their own children?

It reminds me of the east german border guards that were against reunification, because then they would be out of a job.

Her clients include women that want to put up children for adoption, and allowing men the right to contest might slow her business somewhat, so she is against it.

Absolutely no shame.
