KS Supreme Court affirms father's rights

The Kansas Supreme Court has affirmed the right's of a natural father in a case where the mother immediately put the newborn up for adoption without informing the father.

The mother, who said she did not know she was pregnant until the day she gave birth, immediately put the newborn up for adoption through Kansas Children's Service League. A KCSL social work supervisor contacted the person who the mother thought was the child's father to inform him of the pregnancy and birth. "This news shocked him," the court's decision noted.
