Birth mothers and birth fathers can share many different types of relationships and still choose adoption for their child. However, that relationship can sometimes affect the general adoption process.

Some birth fathers are supportive and involved in the creation of an adoption plan, while others may be uninvolved, unsupportive, or unknown. This has led some pregnant women considering adoption in NE to ask if they can choose adoption without the father’s involvement in Nebraska.

Some of the most frequently asked questions from pregnant women considering adoption regarding birth father rights in Nebraska have included:

• “Can I give my baby up for adoption without the father’s consent in NE?”

• “Can I choose adoption when the father is unknown in Nebraska?”

• “Does the birth father have to agree to adoption for me to place my child?”

How Relationships Affect Adoptions

Birth mothers who have successfully placed a child for adoption with American Adoptions have been:

• Married to the father of the baby they placed for adoption in Nebraska

• Currently in a relationship with the father of their baby

• Raising older children, who may share the same father or may have separate fathers

• First-time moms

• On friendly terms with baby’s birth father, although not in a relationship together

• Unsure of the birth father’s identity or how to contact him

• In an unhealthy or unsafe relationship with the father of their baby, which could be one reason why they chose adoption for their child

Some elements of the Nebraska adoption process may be influenced by the relationship you share with your baby’s birth father, but birth mothers and birth fathers have been in every kind of relationship and successfully placed children for adoption.

What Are Your Rights as a Birth Father in Nebraska?

As a birth father, you may not be as frequently talked-about as birth mothers, but you’re an important part of the NE adoption process, and you can play an important role in your child’s life. Understanding your Nebraska birth father rights in adoption is equally important. Here’s what you should know:

If you consent to the adoption and would like to be involved in the adoption process:

You can work alongside the birth mother to create an adoption plan, or you can create a birth father plan by calling 1-800-ADOPTION. The creation of an adoption plan outlines decisions like choosing your child’s adoptive parents with the birth mother, deciding how much post-adoption communication you want to have with your child and their family and more.

If you disagree with the mother’s decision to place a child for adoption:

Contact an adoption attorney to discuss the specific legal steps that you’ll need to take if you’re unsupportive of a birth mother’s Nebraska adoption decision. It’s important to address your disagreement early on before the adoption decision is finalized.

Every relationship between a birth mother and birth father is going to be entirely unique. This means that your adoption is going to be similarly unique.
