Father Refuses to Sign Adoption Paperwork

- they are trying to hurt or control the birth mother
- they are attempting to “get back” at the birth mother
- they don’t understand adoption, or have heard bad things
- family or friends are pressuring them not to sign anything, afraid if they sign the paperwork they might be responsible for child support
- they have been taught “you don’t give away your kids,” no matter how inadequate of a parent they might be
