A responsible, ethical adoption agency or attorney will try their best to locate the birthfather and inform him of his rights, though state law may require him to take action within a given time frame if he wishes to protect his rights. If the childs father wishes to be involved in the adoption process and the birthmother agrees, he should receive the same counseling and support as the birthmother.
