| I think that is the birth parents are in any kind of a good relationship, the father's role in deciding to go for adoption is implicitly a given, you know? Giving a child for adoption, as far as I can see, is one of the hardest decisions a woman can ever make and I would assume that, when faced with it, she would avail herself of all of her resources. If the father is part of that equation, I see no reason why he wouldn't be involved.
If it's not a good relationship, then I don't see how or why the father needs to be involved. If he can't keep himself available for contact in case of a life-changing event such as this, then he's got no cause for complaint down the road. __________________  Sunny
