If the parents are married they have equal parental rights.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity legally. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test.
A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

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

Assuming the question relates to a child born out of wedlock, blood relations of the biological mother do not have more 'rights' to custody of a minor child than the biological father.

Generally the court will grant temporary custodial rights to the biological grandparents or the closest living relative of the biological mother assuming such person(s) qualifies for guardianship.
Why children usually live with their mother in a single parent home?
