Oh my gosh that's so horrible that the father of the baby can't get his baby or didn't have to sign papers for the adoption to take place.
When my daughter was given up, they were supposed to contact the birth father to get his signature for the adoption. They only had to publish his name "somewhere" in order to have it legal to take his rights away.
The published a notice in a legal paper that NO ONE would think to look in if they weren't already a lawyer. It was full of case files for notifying a party that there was a court date set up for them to be at and failure to show would show no interest in whatever.
The birth father of my child lived in Pierce county WA. The birth took place in King County WA and that's where the notice was put.
The agency knew where the father lived but refused to send him any kind of notice that would give him any chance to ruin the chances of the adoptive parents to get my baby.
I was told that was common and it was legal. I didn't know about the notice until I started investigating years later to find out if the father had signed the papers or not.
It made me sick how deceptive that they were in their efforts to contact the birth father.
I wish your brother luck with this and tell him not to give up! Never give up! He has rights too!
