If a woman gets pregnant, can she decide to give the baby up for adoption, even if the father wants to keep it?
Brittany asked:
That is so, very unfair. Seems to me, the baby is out, the father should have exactly the same rights as the mother.

Men have very few rights that are regarded, generally speaking.
Again, we have someone posting a ridiculous comment below about a “woman’s body.” Clearly, people of sound mind understand that a separate child, such as Oprah Winfrey or whomever, is not a part of Mrs. Winfrey’s “body.” I don’t know whence that feminist notion emanated. Joe

Yes, it is the woman’s body and therefore the woman’s decision. Of course, the father would have some say in the matter and the two should talk it out reasonably, but ultimately the decision rests with the woman. xXCuriousnessXx

Although MoM and dad created the little one, it is mainly the mother’s decision. But if you Love the man then he should be able to interact with your decision as well. HarmonyDondivaJ

that is really unfair and i feel sorry for the poor father that wants his child
although most decisions are up to the mother so it can be done through court but i wouldn’t recommend it!

not really. if he wants the child he can have it. if you two aren’t living together then it shouldn’t bother you. but if you two are living together and you put the baby up for adoption he might leave you ♥autumn♥

I would think that would be a decision that both of you would make together.I’d either bring your parents input into the decision or go to a counsler and tell him/her why you want to give the baby away and why he wants to keep it. Lana m

all these answers have been wrong in almost every state child custody from the second they are born is 50/50 if u don’t want ur custody he can have his u can’t legally give the baby up if he wants it he can keep it….. *mommy*

it depends, is the father a complete idiot?, why wouldn’t a woman put the child up for adoption, if she doesn’t want the child and the father is worthless, and not father material? who would want to leave a child with a complete moron, if their is a chance of a great, loving couple that could give that child anything? some people don’t need children, whether they want one or not. lgg19632001

When a baby is born it’s not the the mother’s decision. that’s like saying i could give my 3 year old awway right now and hsi father couldn’t do anything about it. When giving up for adoption, you need paternal permission. whiich means the father needs to sign off on it. now, there are adoptions that occur without it but the father can refuse and get baby back. adoptive parents know this at the time and know that the father can fight it at any time. unless the father is not able to care for baby at all ( as in proven not assumed) then there is no reason to do that. it would be selfish.
