She can but it must be approved by a court and the father must also consent. The adoption or guardianship must be accomplished by a court order. The parties must seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in custody and adoption.

When a man signs a birth certificate they automatically get parental rights in Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, when a man signs a birth certificate, it does not automatically grant him parental rights. If the man is married to the child’s mother at the time of birth, he is typically presumed to be the legal father and has parental rights. However, if he is not married to the mother, he may need to establish paternity through court or other legal means to obtain those rights. It's important for unmarried fathers to take appropriate legal steps to ensure their parental rights are recognized.

What will happen if the mother doesn't want the father to have paternal rights?

In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
