The article is lengthy, but worth reading, in full. Apparently non-married Fathers can have their parental rights terminated rather easily.

For example, adoption agencies in Utah can claim Utah jurisdiction in other states, and finalize an adoption within 20 days after receiving the Mother's signature.

In the instance cited, the Father filed proper paperwork to secure his rights, but the State of Utah delayed entering his info into their computer, thus pushing him past the deadline.

Whoops! 22 days. No Fatherhood for you.
