Putative Father Registry
The Putative Father Registry is a list of the names of men who have acknowledged paternity of a child by completing the Paternity Acknowledgment form or have indicated the possibility of paternity without acknowledging paternity of the child.
The Registry allows possible biological but not legal fathers to provide identifying information about themselves, the mother, and the child so these registered men can be notified about adoption proceedings.
The possible biological but not legal father is encouraged to place his name in the Registry as soon as possible after engaging in a sexual relationship with a woman who is not his legal wife where such union could result in the birth of a child, preferably registering before the child is born.

The Indiana General Assembly, in a bipartisan effort, designed the Putative Father Registry to prevent a "Baby Jessica" tragedy from happening in Indiana.
Very briefly, in the Baby Jessica case, the mother of the child intentionally identified the wrong man as the father. The adoptive parents believing that they had the consent of the father assumed custody of the child only to learn that the real father objected to the adoption.
If a man is not married to the woman or has not formally established paternity, for him to receive notice of an adoption, he must register with the State Board of Health any time during the pregnancy and up to thirty days following the birth of the child. If he registers in a timely manner, he will receive notice of the adoption and an opportunity to contest the adoption.
In fact, after receiving notice of the adoption, if he establishes paternity, he will acquire an absolute veto over the adoption.
Further justification for the Registry includes the following:
1. It gives the birth father an opportunity to protect his parental rights without having to rely upon either the adoptive parents or the birth mother for his information.
2. It assures the birth mother and the adoptive parents that the adoption will not be disrupted because an unknown father or a father whose whereabouts are not known later appears on the scene.
3. It creates a more appropriate assumption of responsibility by the putative father. If a man wants to have a relationship with his child, it only makes sense that he should take responsibility for protecting his own rights rather than relying upon the birth mother or the adoptive parents to protect his rights for him.
4. It more effectively protects the rights of the putative father who wants to have a relationship with his child than any other legislative scheme.
5. It allows the birth mother to protect her privacy by not having her name published in a newspaper.
6. It relieves a birth mother from perjuring herself if she is unwilling to identify the putative father.
