Can an adoption plan be made if the birth fathers identity and/or whereabouts are unknown?
Yes, and this can be fairly common. However, the agency will make efforts to try and locate and/or identify the birth father. It is very important that birth mothers are open and honest with the agency regarding any information they have about the birth father, in order to help ensure that the adoption is legally permanent. If efforts to locate and/or identify the father are unsuccessful, an adoption plan can proceed without him.
