Hey...

I found a site today where you can click on your state, and it tells you the laws regarding relinquishment, revocation, etc. for that state.

According to that site, Massachusetts does not even always require the bfather to sign away his rights. It said that only the mother has to do that when the child is born out of wedlock.

Does anyone know if that's true?

If so, it looks like Massachusetts views it the same as mimc... it's really the expectant mom's decision.

Hate to say it, but I'm almost leaning towards the Massachusetts way of doing it. The more I think about, the more I think: If a woman wants an abortion, she doesn't have to get bfather's permission; if she wants to parent, she doesn't have to get bfather's permission; why should she have to if she wants an adoption?

(Oh wow, probably created waves with that one...)
