John Wyatt is currently fighting to get his daughter. His ex-girlfriend put their daughter up for adoption without his consent KNOWING he wanted to keep her. The baby was born in Virginia, but the adoption took place in Utah. Virginia has said that John has custody of the little girl, but Utah is ignoring the court order. Utah says that he should have filed in Utah. Uuuuuhhhh, (1) he wasn't made aware of what was going on and (2) since the baby was taken across state lines without his consent, the child was legally kidnapped, according to Federal law. Therefore the adoption is null and void.
Of course I feel for the adoptive parents who want to keep her, but should this man give up his kidnapped daughter?! One of the blogs I read mentioned asked when there SHOULD be Federal laws. Here's a perfect example of when. While I feel bad for the adoptive parents, I have to ask how they would feel if their child was kidnapped, taken across state lines illegally, given to another couple to raise, and then be told "
Watch the video.
Peace Out,

Why was this dude getting a teenage girl pregnant, and out of a stable relationship?
I feel bad for him, but he wasn't exactly making good decisions.
That said, 'family courts' are notoriously stacked against men and fathers. It is a very discriminatory environment and apparently Utah is even more so.
This reminds me of fathers that want to raise a baby and then the woman aborts and he gets zero say so.
She was 19, he was 20. I don't understand how they can say a man has no rights to a child when the woman wants an abortion, but forces child support when HE doesn't want the child.
I mean, if she has a choice, shouldn't he as well? They both chose to take a chance when they chose to have sex. If she gets an out, so does he.
And I don't understand how a child who was taken across state lines illegally, therefore KIDNAPPED, could be put up for adoption, and then have that adoption upheld after it's been shown the kid was abducted in the first place!!!
In truth, there already IS a law...against parental kidnapping, which seems to have occured here.
This is a very sad case from the get-go.
