Utah adoption law, one of the worst for denying paternal rights, has four steps that biological fathers must take in order to intervene before the birth mother places the child for adoption:

File a paternity petition in court;

Fair.

file a sworn affidavit in court stating he is able and willing to have full custody of the child

Fair.

detailing child care plans

A little excessive, but I'm not gonna say it's a bad thing.

and agreeing to a court order of support and payment of pregnancy and birth-related expenses;

I'm sorry, what? You have to pay to take care of a child because you weren't the one who gave birth?

file a notice of commencement of a paternity action with the state vital statistics registrar;

Fair.

show proof he offered to pay or did pay the pregnancy and birth-related expenses, unless he was unaware of the pregnancy before the birth,

Oh now that is BULLCRAP! You're seriously not allowed to take care of the child if you did not offer to pay for the woman's pregnancy costs at the time AND you need proof that you offered?! That is most blatantly arbitrary condition I've heard since "You can't vote if you can't read"!
