This commentary discusses the awkward position of the unmarried father in three adoption cases. In G v City of Edinburgh Council 2002 SLT 828 an unmarried father was excluded from the process of freeing his child for adoption. In North Lanarkshire Council v AW (unreported) the unmarried father carried out his “threat” to marry the mother and thereby acquired standing in the adoption process. In West LothianCouncil v M 2002 SLT 1155 the father acquired standing by entering a parental responsibilities agreement under section 4 of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995.
Keywords: Unmarried fathers, Adoption, Freeing orders, Parenthood through marriage, Section 4 agreements, European Convention on Human Rights
