Yeah, but my point was that California automatically treats the woman who gave birth as the "natural mother," and the only way to terminate that relationship is through adoption. And I don't think the courts will countenance the ruse of a mother giving a child up for adoption solely by his father, because it violates the child's rights by allowing a parent to renounce the duties of parenting without a proper adjudication. (I could be wrong about this, and should ask my friend who has two turkey bastards with her wife, with cross-adoptions, which are allowed in California but you have to do everything exactly right).
In other words, Rowe may not want these kids, but in California that ain't dispositive of the kids' right to have a parent.
