41% of all live births in the USA, to Unwed Mothers

There are over 1.7 millions live births to Unwed Mothers, each year.

That’s 41% of all live births, to Unwed Mothers, in the USA.

The potential for over 1.7 millions Unwed Fathers, to never see their child again.

Many States have attempted to rectify this situation, by having Unwed Parents sign a Paternity Affidavit, stating that an Unwed Father truly is the child’s Father.

However, this doesn’t help, Unwed Biological Fathers, if the parents never make it to Court, to establish his fatherhood.

At birth, the Unwed Biological Mother, is given full Parental Rights, under the Law.

While the Unwed Biological Father, is given absolutely no Parental Rights at all.

The Law requires the Unwed Biological Father, to appear in Court, so that the Court can “officially” acknowledge him as the Father of the child.  However, this is for the sole purpose of establishing Child Support and absolutely nothing more.

That’s correct, the only Parental Right this Court can grant or cares about, is financial support for the Child, which it asks solely of the Father.  This Court is not concerned with nor considers Child Custody nor Child Visitation.

Since Unwed Biological Mothers, have full Parental Rights, they can decide if and when the Unwed Biological Father can see his own child.  Also, if the Unwed Biological Mother decides to move with the child, she does not have to seek the permission or even give any knowledge of the move, to the Unwed Biological Father.  A “worse case” scenario, if the Unwed Biological Mother decides to marry a man, who is not the Unwed Biological Father, and decides to have that man adopt the child.  Even though she is suppose to seek the permission of the Unwed Biological Father, to permit another man to adopt their child, if she does not go to extreme measures to notify him, of the possibility, then the child can be adopted, without the knowledge or consent of the Unwed Biological Father.  Therefore the Unwed Biological Father, loses the possibility of his Parental Rights with the child, and therefore loses his child, forever.
