Is there ANY way of tracking down the name of the biological father of a child placed for adoption...?

Question

If all you know is the name of the biological mother?  In Texas, is there a registry for parental rights terminations there a place to find parental rights terminations that isn't sealed?  I'm not trying to find the child, just to find out if the parent gave up a child.

Yes.

But, aren't you the one always banging on about 'privacy' and how secrecy and sealed records in adoption are just the bees knees LOL

Could you IM me or send me a message with the specific details of the situation?  So I can at least attempt to help you.  There is a putative father registry but I do not know the history of it.  I do not know how long they have been operating it.  I am not sure if someone outside the industry can check it.  I know that it is not public records.  I know that that certain agencies like Gladney as late as 1989 were still telling mothers not to name the fathers.
