What is the name of your state? VA
I was born in 1966 and placed for adoption in 1967. My unmarried birthmother and father lived in TN during the 60's and had been dating. In a recent letter, she acknowledged she never told my father she was pregnant
and fled to VA to place me for adoption without his knowledge or consent, returning to TN after my birth. She refuses to give me my fathers name in fear, I assume, of the legal ramifications he could pursue against her for lies and misconduct resulting in loss of his natural daughter.
Both my natural parents were residents of Tennessee.
I was placed for adoption in Virginia.
My natural mother now resides in Florida.
In which state do I file, or can I file a civil suit requiring her to release paternity information?
I have read that Florida has recently passed a law requiring mothers to list possible fathers so that they can be notified and given the opportunity to
to exercise their parental rights.
