Ignorance of the pregnancy is no excuse for not signing the registry. The sexual act itself lets the adoption proceed without the putative father's consent if he has not signed the registry within 30 days after the child's birth or legally established fatherhood. O.R.C. 3107.061, & 3107(B).

Notarization required.

Cost: None
