Father is completely out of the picture.

At first, it is perfectly natural that you feel especially disadvantaged if the father of your child is nowhere to be found. However, should you choose adoption for your child, his absence and obvious lack of concern for the life you are carrying can work very much to yours and your baby’s advantage. Being completely out of the picture defaults the birth father out of any parental rights, in most states.

 

American Adoptions will, of course, work with you to ensure that all is done correctly to support you and the decision you have made for your child.
