i shd think so!
I don't know your situation, but maybe the 18year old mother should speak to the father, if she hasn't already.
Again, i don't know what you've done about it, but maybe, if its your daughter, son or a member of family; you should leave them to make their own decisions for themselves and only interfere when they ask you too. Even then, you should only do what they ask you too.
However, if it has got serious, and they still wont say anything, as mean as it sounds, interegating them may help.

No
No.No.No.No.
If the mother is unmarried and the father has never established his paternity that might be possible if the mother claims the father is unknown. If the father knows he has fathered a child he can request a DNA test to establish his paternity through the court. The child could not be adopted without his or the court's consent
In Kansas, if the father did not begin paying child six month prior to the birth of the child, he cannot challenge an adoption. Guess how many know this?
This varies from state to state. You should call an adoption agency or adoption attorney in the state where the child resides.
no, changing the birth certificate requires adoption, and can only be done if the birth father's parental rights have been terminated.
I highly doubt that, the father has rights to that child, regardless of if they are married or not.
No, legally they are both the parents.
The mother AND the father are a child's next of kin. Next of kin is determined by legal adoption, marriage and blood. If a child's parents are deceased their next-of-kin would be their siblings by blood or by legal adoption.
That is not his decision to make. The child can not be given up for adoption without the biological mother's permission. And then the court will decide of she's allowed to adopt.
I would think that if the mother and father are not together and the mother is willing to give up custody of the child to the father than the father would have rights to the child. If the adoption papers haven't been canceled yet they will have to be signed when the baby is born saying that the mother and father give up parental rights to the child
No. The adoption would require the mother's voluntary consent unless a court deems her to be an unfit parent and terminates her parental rights. See related question link.
