Once a parent has voluntarily relinquished parental rights or they have been permanently terminated by the court said parent loses all claims to the child/childrent in question. If the relinquishing parent can prove that he or she was mislead when agreeing to the action they may have a chance to appeal. However, if the parent took the action with the intent of being relieved of financial obligations the TPR is not subject to appeal or can it be rescinded and the adoption will be allowed to go forth. The legal premise being, if the parent did not want to support the child/children they also were not concerned with the child's/children's well-being.
***** edited to add by Gershom *** He would have to get a "father friendly lawyer" there are lawyers that will "say" they're on your side, but really work for the industry and will mislead you to assure that your rights remain terminated.
www.adoptioncrossroads.org ( joe soll has a list of natural family friendly lawyers ) Once you find a lawyer who's "really" on your side, you would have to prove coercion in the court of law. Save everything, document everything and do not walk, RUN to the lawyers office and do it now. Every second that goes by counts at this time.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Unless the father has been determined to be an unfit parent and has had his parental rights terminated the court will try to obtain the father's consent. If the father objects the court will hear testimony and make a determination that is in the best interest if the child. In any case, the father's rights must be addressed legally in order for the adoption to be legal.
That would all depend upon what state you are in, what are the circumstances surrounding the adoption. Has the parental rights of natural parents been terminated?

Yes, but only if the birth father's parental rights have been terminated by the courts.
Not necessarily, however having the biological parents consent to the adoption makes the process much easier and faster. And having no parents rights is not the same thing as giving his consent. With or without his consent, however the adoption process is possible.
Only if you live in Utah, there notification is enough. You can go to court and see if you can get his parental rights terminated.
Yes, but this will require that your parental rights are terminated, either with your consent or without (following a finding that you are an unfit parent).
Not only parental consent. You can marry at 16 with parental consent, but at 15 you must also have high-court consent.
