Does the biological father have a right to be notified of a possible adoption of child even though he was not married to mother at the time of birth and paternity was not legally established also bio-father lives in the state of birth of the child but the adoption is in another state?

Who Must Consent

In all States, the birth mother and the birth father, if he has properly established paternity, hold the pri**** right of consent to adoption of their child. Either one or both parents may have these rights terminated for a variety of possible reasons, including abandonment, failure to support the child, mental incompetence, or a finding of parental unfitness due to abuse or neglect.

In those States where there is a putative father registry, a birth father who fails to register in the prescribed manner and within the proper time period, may lose the right to consent. Other jurisdictions require unwed fathers to file a notice of their paternity claim within a certain period of time.

See the Clearinghouse publication, The Rights of Presumed (Putative) Fathers, for detailed, State-by-State information.
