I saw the Dr. Phil show and I was totally disgusted by that case. The father wanted to be a father. The mother did not want to parent the child but did not want the father to either. To me that is not fair. He kept calling and calling trying to work something out. The girls father took him out to dinner to get him to agree to the adoption. The guy would not even consider it. He wanted the child in his life and everyone knew that. So the father of the girl said that she would have an abortion then. And they led this guy to believe that is what happened.

Then the poor guy finds out that she did not abort and placed the baby for adoption even though that is not what he wanted. To make it TEN times worse, the girl gave the child to her parents FRIENDS! So her and her family get to see the baby whenever they want and the father of the child has NO RIGHTS!!! The judge ruled that because this man did not sign a registry that he didn't even know about - that either lawyer from both sides didn't even know about until this case - he has no rights to his baby. That is the worse case of injustice I have ever heard. And wait until this little girl grows up to find this out.

I think the registry is the most ridiculous thing ever.
