A perfect example of why fathers shouldn't be cut out of their children's lives.

Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but the author should have proof read the article before publishing it. It's riddled with grammar mistakes. ie: "Utah has become to go-to state for pregnant women..."

That being said, I'm glad "Ed" got to give his daughter a positive home.

In the state of Utah a birth mother may consent to an adoption or relinquish an infant after giving birth. She does not need the consent of the unmarried father unless he has done the following: filed a petition to establish paternity in a Utah court with an affidavit stating he is “willing and able” to have full custody and will pay child support, pregnancy-related and childbirth expenses (it also must detail a plan for the child’s care); filed a “notice of commencement of paternity proceeding” with the Office of Vital Statistics; and has offered to pay for a reasonable share of the mother’s pregnancy-related and childbirth expenses, unless he is able to show he did not know about the pregnancy, or was prevented from paying the expenses, or the mother refused his offer to pay.

Emphasis mine. Someone care to explain why Utah doesn't require women to do exactly the same or else lose custody of their children? "Oh, you're pregnant? Here, fill out these forms and explain to the state how you're going to pay for your child's expenses without needing govt assistance, how you plan for care for the child, etc."
