[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a he-said, she-said for what exactly happened during pregnancy. But after the birth, there was no attempt to reach out, see the baby, establish his rights. He was very passive and apathetic. And he was in the military and spoke to his commanding officer. He could have had free legal guidance through the military, if he had wanted. Just curious what Oklahoma rules are for losing rights through abandonment. Never been able to find a straight answer.[/quote] He sought out that legal guidance from the military within the first couple of days of learning about the adoption. The reality is, that some birth parents in highly conflictual relationships decide that it's better for the child to be with one parent, than to be co-parented, if the latter means the introduction of conflict and instability in a child's life. I'm not saying that I agree with that, but that it's a choice that many parents make. I'm not saying that I agree with that decision, but it's not an uncommon one and there's a certain logic to it. Especially with a child too young to have a memory of a relationship with the noncustodial parent. Saying that because he chose to respect what he thought was the mother's wishes to parent solo, he should lose his right to parent when it turned out she wasn't willing to take on the task, is absurd.
