Yes, if the mother is absent or found incompetent the judge can take away her maternal rights at which point the next of kin will be asked to raise the child.

Can a father sign over parental rights to an unborn child in Alabama?
That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.

Can paternal grandparents legally keep the unwed mother of the child away from the child through a power of attorney of the child's unwed father?
Of course not. In the United States an unwed mother has sole custody of her child until the father has established his paternity legally, in court. Then he must petition for custody and/or visitation rights. He cannot make any changes in the custody of the child via a power of attorney. The unwed mother should exercise her parental rights aggressively and not allow grandparents or the father to take control of her "rights".
If the mother and father of a child are married does the father have parental rights?
