Putative Father Registry
The Putative Father Registry is a list of the names of men who have:
- Declared Paternity of a Child
- OR
- Indicated the Possibility of Paternity
The Registry allows possible biological (not legal) fathers to provide identifying information about themselves, the mother, and the child so that these registered men can be notified about adoption proceedings.
The possible biological father is encouraged to place his name in the Registry as soon as possible after engaging in a sexual relationship with a woman who is not his legal wife where such union could result in the birth of a child, preferably registering before the child is born.
In order to register, a man should complete the Putative Father Registry Registration Form (no. 3960) which can be obtained in person at the Cobb Public Health, Vital Records Office at the address below:
