I read it.
He knocked her up after knowing her a whole month.
Whether he wanted to do the honorable thing or not, he made a baby with a woman he didn’t know very well.
But, after becoming aware of her pregnancy, he wanted to marry her. She broke it off. I'd quote from the article, but that would not enlighten you as much as you reading the whole thing for yourself.
I know, it's a legal-ese article and not written to the usual 7th grade level of USA Toady (that's not a slam on you or anyone else's reading ability, that's just the facts), but if you do take the time to read it, you'll see that this guy had every intention of doing the right thing.
As for the whole sex-before-marriage argument, it's moot. It happens, has been for centuries. Us kvetching about it will not change it. I wonder if she also does not bear some responsibility for this?
Bottom line: this guy is not a dead beat dad, he deserves props for taking a stand and being a real father to his child. I do hope he finds a way to include the adoptive parents in that child's life...but if he does, that's a decision and a pattern that must be established as soon as he gains legal and physical custody. He can't start a relationship with them now and then put them out of the pic later...nor should he cut off all ties between the child and the adoptive parents immediately.
As for the mother, I'm hoping there's a little jail time in her future!
