What if the Birthfather is unknown?
If the Birthfather of the child is unknown and no probable father is known, Lifetree will obtain a certificate from the Bureau of Vital Statistics signed by the registrar stating that a due diligent search has been made of the paternity registry maintained by the Bureau and that a registration has not been found pertaining to the Birthfather of the child in question. This will be filed with the court before a trial on the merits in the suit for termination may be held.
