Beratung des Vaters bei der Einwilligung in die Adoption eines Kindes

For a child to be put up for adoption, the consent of both parents is required. Seek advice on this from the Youth Welfare Office.

If you want to give your child up for adoption and you are not married to the mother, you can refrain from filing an application for transfer of parental care to yourself after the child's birth. You can declare this even before the birth.

As a rule, consent to adoption cannot be given until eight weeks after the birth of the child.

If the mother is not married, you as the father, if you do not have custody, can give consent to the adoption even before the child is born. This consent must be notarized. Consent to adoption cannot be notarized at a youth welfare office.

In addition, the father can make a declaration that he will not apply for parental care of the child. This declaration, supplementing the consent to relinquish transfer of custody, must be notarized "publicly." "Public" means that the declaration may also be notarized. The declaration can also be notarized (in this case free of charge) at a youth welfare office.

Both when notarizing the consent to an adoption and when notarizing the declaration of relinquishment, you will be informed about the legal consequences and effects of the notarization before it is notarized.
