PRE-BIRTH SURRENDER OF RIGHTS

FINAL RELEASE FOR ADOPTION

NOTICE TO ALLEGED BIOLOGICAL FATHER:

This is an important legal document and by signing it you are surrendering any and all of your right, title, and claim to the child identified herein, so as to facilitate the child's placement for adoption. You have the right to wait to execute a Surrender of Rights Final Release for Adoption after the child is born, but by signing this document you are electing to surrender your rights prior to the birth of this child. You are to receive a copy of this document and as explained below have the right to withdraw your pre-birth surrender within ten days from the date you sign it.

---------------------

I, the undersigned, understand that I have been named by , the mother of the child expected to be born in (city) (county) (state) on or about the day of (month), (year), as the biological father or possible biological father of her child. I further understand that the mother wishes to place this child for adoption.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, the child has not been born as of the date I am signing this pre-birth surrender; however, if in fact the child has been born, this surrender shall have the same effect as if it were a surrender executed following the birth of the child.

I understand that by signing this document I am not admitting that I am the biological father of this child, but if I am, I hereby agree that adoption is in this child's best interest. I consent to adoption of this child by any person chosen by the child's mother or by any public or private child-placing agency without further notice to me. I expressly waive any other notice or service in any of the legal proceedings for the adoption of the child.

I understand that I have the option to wait until after the child is born to execute a surrender of my rights (with a corresponding ten-day right of withdrawal) and, further, that by executing this document I am electing instead to surrender my rights before the child's birth.

I further understand that execution of this document does not fully and finally terminate my responsibilities until a final order of adoption is entered. I understand that if the child is not adopted, legal proceedings can be brought to establish paternity, and I may become liable for financial obligations related to the birth and support of this child.

Furthermore, I hereby certify that I have received a copy of this document and that I understand that I may only withdraw this pre-birth surrender by giving written notice, delivered in person or by statutory overnight delivery or registered mail, return receipt requested, to within ten days from the date hereof; that the ten days shall be counted consecutively beginning with the day immediately following the date hereof; that, however, if the tenth day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the last day on which the surrender may be withdrawn shall be the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday; and that it may NOT be withdrawn thereafter.

If prior to my signing this pre-birth surrender I have registered on Georgia's putative father registry then if I do not withdraw this surrender within the time permitted, I waive the notice I would be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 19-8-12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated because of my registration on the putative father registry.

Furthermore, I hereby certify that I have not been subjected to any duress or undue pressure in the execution of this document and do so freely and voluntarily.
