    Child Given Up for Adoption Without Biological Fathers Knowledge
    My question involves adoption law for the State of: MN
    18 yers ago I got a girl pregnant, after she told me I never heard from or saw her again. 3 moths ago she contacted me, she gave the baby up for adoption and has contact with the child. This child had been asking if her bio father would ever want to meet her. When I started to ask questions about the child she shut down said she didn't know what she could tell me because she listed "father unknown" on the birth certificate and would not give me any info. Long story short, she falsley stated that she did not know who the father was on the birth certificate and gave the baby up without concent from me. I'm unsure what to do next? I would like to know for certain that I am the father before I develope a relationship with this child. But I also don't want to disrupt her life.

    At this point, kiddo is 18, or soon will be. If you do manage to make contact with her, it would be up to her to consent to or decline a DNA test.

    The time to act, unfortunately, was when your ex girlfriend told you she was pregnant, by staying in contact and establishing paternity at the appropriate time. I'm afraid you're too late, and will now have to wait for the girl to make contact with you.
