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".
