Failure to register; effect on parental rights in adoption
proceedings
Sec. 2. (a) A man who fails to register with the putative father
registry as required by section 1 of this chapter waives the right to
notice of an adoption of a child who is the subject of the paternity
action:
(1) if the adoption is filed before the man establishes paternity;
and
(2) in which the child's mother does not disclose to an attorney
or agency arranging the adoption the name or address of the
child's putative father.
(b) A waiver under this section constitutes the man's irrevocably
implied consent to the child's adoption.
