I Never Agreed to That

...and some have fatherhood thrust upon them.

A 21-year-old Wisconsin man seems the logical person to take care of his child of less than a year when the mother goes to prison. Ironically, she is going to prison for getting herself pregnant by the man while he was passed out drunk. He had not idea he had engaged with her ... at least not until he got pulled in for a paternity test.

Contrast that question of a father taking care of a child with another, this one thanks to an Australian couple and their more regular couplers.

Simply enough, a gay man and lesbian women have a child. They agree to co-parent. The woman has been in a long term relationship with another — call her Mom Two. The man begins a serious relationship but Mom One refuses to allow Dad One's partner, [potential] Dad Two, to gain any sort of legal standing.

And for situations like these, apparently, an Almighty God encouraged humanity to create the court system.
