The mother has given up all her rights and the child legally adopted by her new family. The adoption was done in I think Ohio, which has some interesting legalities around paternal rights...something like if the father does not claim the child at birth or before his rights are legally terminated. in this case it's unlikely the guy even knew he had fathered a child..

Yep, but your friend *has* to watch her back regardless. I understand what you are saying, but tell her not to be lulled into a false sense of security. I'll have to ask my GF or her friends (she's originally from OH) too about whaqt she knows about the law, but *never*assume that just because there is a law in place or that the mother/father is a bad person or has surrendered her rights means she can't get them back or make life a nightmare.

Trust me on this one, don't assume that the family courts will act in the interests of the children. I think you can start an entire messageboard on what a monumental clusterf-ck family courts are.
