Another Father Suing for Custody of a Child Adopted Without His Knowledge
Chris Carlton, of Williamsport, Penn., thought his baby was dead — until his girlfriend came clean during a court testimony and confessed she’d given the child up for adoption in Utah. Carlton says his constitutional rights have been violated and is still hoping to gain full custody of his daughter.

Carlton was working as a military contractor in 2010 when his girlfriend Shalanda Brown disappeared during her seventh month of pregnancy. Although the two had broken up, Carlton had been trying to keep in touch so that he could be involved with his child’s life

But during a courtroom testimony, Brown finally broke down and told Carlton the truth: his baby was alive.
His ex had flown to Utah, delivered a baby girl, and given her up for adoption through the Adoption Center of Choice in American Fork, Utah. She refused to name Carlton during the adoption procedures, telling the ACC that the man was abusive — a claim that Carlton roundly denied. When the child was placed with a family, the dad was never given notice.
