Si una mamá decide casarse de nuevo y quiere que su nuevo esposo adopte a su hijo, a veces el papá biológico no está de acuerdo. La ley dice que si el papá no está presente o no ayuda económicamente, puede que no tenga voz en la decisión de adopción.

Due process notice. - Grant of adoption to a mother's new husband pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 19-8-6 was proper as it was found to be in the children's best interests; the fact that the father alleged that the father had made several support payments right around the time that the adoption petition was filed did not affect the determination that the father failed in his support duties as there was insubstantial evidence to support a finding as to those payments and there was also evidence that the father did not make payments for the three years prior thereto; the father's claim that his due process rights were violated by not receiving notice that his parental right
