  • Once I sign a consent for adoption, can I change my mind?
  • Can I get pictures and letters after my baby is adopted?
  • Does the birth father need to be notified of or give his consent for the adoption?
  • Is this different if I am married?
  • If I do not identify the birth father, can he stop the adoption or come back in the future and take the child from the adoptive couple?
  • What if I don't know who or where the birth father is? What if the birth father has a history of being violence with me and I am afraid to tell him ?
