NO, the birthfather needs to file a appeal immediately.

I don't think that the judge can do that legally. If a child is to be given up for adoption and the birthmother acknowledges the man to be the father, then it would be the courts responsibility allow the father to prove that he is the father. I did find out recently that without a paternity test, the courts don't actually acknowledge the father as being the biological parent. A paternity test or a custody agreement where the birthmother and father agree that they are the parents are the only things that the courts recognizes as proof when determining the biological father.

The judge can refuse but that does not mean the father has to give up. He can appeal.

If the child is being adopted into another state or even another county there can be a whole new legal fight.

This type of thing happens and is considered child theft by many fathers rights groups. There has been allot of new legal action over this type of situation over the past 5 to 10 years.

YES, the judge can do that. It depends on the statutes of your individual state. USUALLY, this happens when the father has waited too long to claim paternity - but many states allow a mother the freedom to give a kid up for adoption without the consent of the father IF they are unwed. Please refer to your state's statutes.

NO, call the news stations, get a lawyer it is completely illegal. The birthmother and judge could both get jailtime for refusal.

Probably because the father doesn't have enough evidence to call for a paternity test.
