LISTEN NOW! John and Pat discuss how fathers are suing the State of Utah over a law that allows mothers to secretly give up their babies for adoption without the biological father’s consent or sometimes even their knowledge according toFox News. They share how women all over the country are beginning to move to Utah to give birth so they can give their children up for adoption. “Wes Hutchins, the attorney for the men, says he is very pro-adoption, having served as a president of the Utah Adoption Council and currently serving as president of the Utah Council for Ethical Adoption Practices. But, he said, “adoptions need to be done ethically, legally and constitutionally. And above all, they need to be done with the consent and the knowledge and the awareness of both biological parents.” They share the account of one father who spent 10 years and $30,000 to lose custody. They further discuss the importance of fathers’ rights and the role they play in the lives of their children. The best parent is always both parents but when you have a situation in which one of the parents doesn’t want their child then they should not have the right to give the child up for adoption without the other parent’s consent. The Bible tells us that the reason for marriage is to produce Godly offspring and we also know that one day we will all have to give an account as to what we did with the entrustments the Lord has given us. The best way for us to avoid tomorrow’s regrets today is by being a man or woman of God that not only our children can emulate but who understand that what they do with their children matters to God
