Comments on: when you give a baby up for adoption, what paperwork or documents would the birth mom still have? http://www.myadoptedbaby.com/blog/when-you-give-a-baby-up-for-adoption-what-paperwork-or-documents-would-the-birth-mom-still-have/ Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:54:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: The Next Page http://www.myadoptedbaby.com/blog/when-you-give-a-baby-up-for-adoption-what-paperwork-or-documents-would-the-birth-mom-still-have/comment-page-1/#comment-6956 The Next Page Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:41:13 +0000 http://www.myadoptedbaby.com/blog/when-you-give-a-baby-up-for-adoption-what-paperwork-or-documents-would-the-birth-mom-still-have/#comment-6956 True that the Birthmother does not get any information about the child she gives up except if she asks for copies of anything SHE signed. However, unlike several years ago, nowadays, it is unlikely that the mother would be allowed not to name the father. The laws in Idaho are very specific for birth fathers, and I assume in other states as well. The mother must identify the father to the best of her ability. Health and Welfare takes it upon themselves to find him. If they are unable to locate him, it is required that a public notification is put in the newspaper for a certain amount of time - it was at least a year. Health and Welfare wants to know who the father is for a couple of reasons - he does have rights to his child, he does have to sign those rights away if the baby is reliquished, and health and welfare wants to be able to come after him if the circumstances ever warrant child support.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/universities/engineering-technologies-degree.htm"> The Next Page</a> True that the Birthmother does not get any information about the child she gives up except if she asks for copies of anything SHE signed.

When I left the hospital, I received zip, zilch, zero, nada. Not even a tiny scrap of paper that said I had even been in the hospital, let alone gave birth to my own child. But one thing I did walk away with...was stretchmarks from my pregnancy, those stayed with me forever. Paper can tell lies...the body doesn't.<a href="http://www.familylawmadeeasy.com/domestic-violence.htm"> gypsywinter</a> Don’t know if it’s different today than it was yesterday.

She would not have rights to get a copy of the birth certificate after the adoption. At least that's Cali, and someone I know in Utah said the same there so I assumed it was a national thing.<a href="http://www.secretfinance.com/offshore/offshore-services.htm"> ಌSelph-Tytl'dಌ</a> As far as I know the birth mother is given a copy of the forms she had to sign for relinquishment.

I was lucky to be given a photocopy of my daughter's birth certificate but I only recently (11 years later) got the final paperwork. It has to be requested. But I have no idea what the situation is with your son and his ex, it could be that she is lying.... I couldn't say either way, sorry.<a href="http://www.ecohomefashion.com/serving-ware-53"> myst1998</a> Not necessarily.

But in most cases, its rare that the birth mother would have any "proof" that she gave a child up for adoption. The birth mother may have a birth certificate (only if she applied for one). In some states, the father would be required to sign off on the adoption, but in most cases, the father is only required to sign the paper work if the couple was married. If a single mother gives a child up for adoption, and doesn't want the father to know, all she has to do is tell the adoption agency that she doesn't know who the father is, and then the father isn't required to sign any thing.<a href="http://www.englishoverseas.com/teach-english/teach-english-online.htm"> Sarah</a> It depends on what state the child was living in when the adoption occurred.
