)Not so.  I recently described a case in which an unmarried father was

)he had only recently found out about the existance of the child.  The
)mother had claimed another man was the father, and that other man had
)OK'd the adoption.  The case is pending the results of DNA testing to
)determine which man is the biological father.

When (if) they actually give (custody of) the child back to him, I'll be
somewhat impressed.  'case pending' doesn't mean much.
