What are the rights of the birthfather under California law?

California law divides all actual or possible biological fathers into two categories; namely, presumed fathers and alleged fathers. The parental rights of an alleged father are significantly less than those of a presumed father. An alleged natural father does not need to affirmatively consent to an adoption in order to proceed with a placement, although his cooperation is important and should be obtained whenever possible.
