My story is no different than many others that I have shared stories with.

• I fell in love with someone
• I committed a life with someone
• it failed and the battle began

I then realized that after planning and building a life together - I had no parental rights to my child - because we were not married ...this needs changed

I had to fight to have a right!  the time and money that could have been devoted to the child will never be accounted for.  Dads are Parents too?

In Ohio, when a child is born to married parents, both parents automatically have parenting rights to the child. When a child is born to unmarried parents, however, a biological father does not have any legal rights to the child until he seeks them through the juvenile court ..this needs changed
