I also have info on the birthfather from the family court approval. As long as the birthmother is unmarried, it's not an issue.

I think that county in Mass is a real oddity. Even in most of the U.S. an unmarried mother can put her child up for adoption without hunting down the birthfather (althought he can dispute it if he's around and certainly if he is paying support). Florida had passed a law a few years ago requiring unmarried mothers to put notices in the newspapers for several weeks or months before an adoption became final, but I that law was under dispute as an undue hardship on a mother trying to give up her child while the birthfather may have skeddadled.. It's odd that Guatemala would be held to a standard many, if not most, American states don't meet.
