FATHERS’ RIGHTS IN ADOPTION
The goal of this session is to teach practitioners about state-specific law regarding nonmarital paternity, parental rights, and adoption in relation to the Responsible Father Registry in South Carolina. This panel will teach attendees of the difference between biological and parental status, and also the importance of financial support as a demonstration of parental involvement. While covering fundamental paternity rulings issued by the Supreme Court of the United States, this panel will also cover rulings in South Carolina to demonstrate outcomes from various factual scenarios.
A highlight of this session is focus on the Responsible Father Registry (RFR), enacted in 2009, which permits potential fathers of children born in South Carolina to file for notice in the event of an adoption action or a termination of parental rights. Commonly known as “putative father registries” in other states, the RFR was created in South Carolina as a basis for notifying nonmarital potential fathers who may take interest in the status of a child. While the responsible father registry is not well known in South Carolina—as is true for other states—it is crucial that practitioners in the state are aware of its existence for both biological fathers and adoptive parents.
