What rights does a biological father have in an adoption case?
If a person, generally a relative or a step parent, files a Petition for Adoption, the biological father must respond by filing an answer regarding the minor child. If he fails to file the petition and if there is termination language in the Petition for Adoption, the biological father will be in default and will lose all his parental rights. Therefore, it is very important, if you are a biological parent and/or an adopting parent to contact and consult with an experienced adoption attorney.
