An unwed father has no absolute right to veto an adoption, but must take action to preserve his right to veto an adoption.
I stopped reading there coz it means that there are no guarantees

I believe you have to go through the Circuit Court of whatever county you live in and not the register of deeds and it would probably take 6-8 months tops. But you are right don't engage women in any type of arguments just simply walk to the court house and file the paperwork pro se.
If a woman has a newborn that she wants to put up for adoption immediately, I think they can without the father's consent simply by lying about it.
I don't think they can. The older the child is, the more difficult it is.

When a woman wants to adopt, its the LAW the the adoption agency MUST notify the father. They MUST notify you as soon as the baby is born as well.
Then you have TEN days to step up. If not, your rights are automatically terminated and the adoption proceeds.
HOW THEY GONNA NOTIFY A FATHER THAT NOBODY KNOWS? IF SHE DOESN'T TELL THEN HE'S fukkED.
She HAS to tell them. No way around it. Even if she lied and said he was dead, she'd have to show the death certificate.
I thought if a parent terminated their parental rights for adoption they would no longer be financially obligated to the child?
