So sad. I hope he can have a good relationship with his child.

Interesting story but that link was very problematic for me. This link worked better for me and also gives more details which I liked. http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2014/10/17/court-facebook-not-a-valid-way-for-m...

Some of the legal analysis said "courts have ruled that a father can acquire substantial due-process protection by seizing a chance to develop a relationship with the baby." I thought that was interesting and wondered if it had any implications for divorced fathers.

Thanks for calling this story to our attention, anon.

Doesn't this mean it was an illegal adoption? Poor everyone- that woman has a lot to answer for.
