Yes, it is an oddity that's for sure! I spent seven months trying to find a way to get around it. But there is a county in Texas which requires a birthfather search for "re-adoption" and another one in Massachusetts which requires it from time to time. Chances are there are others. I don't know about other states, but before adoptions can become final here, there must be an attempt to get the birthfather to sign away his rights. But why the court won't recognize Guatemalan adoption law as valid when the U.S. government does, I don't know.
I just hope the birthfather doesn't come forward in response to our plea for him to come forward!
