Background info:
Ashley informed Cody she was pregnant and he did everything he should have. He offered to have her move in with him and pay for medical bills.
A little while later she informed him she had a miscarriage and refused to take his calls. He relocated and tried to move on, still shaken up by his unborn child's "death"
When the mother was 8 months pregnant Cody learned from a mutual friend she was still pregnant and planning on giving the child up for adoption in Montana.
Through phone calls and letters he was successful in stopping the pending adoption through LDS Family Services. After that Ashely disappeared and again would not accept his phone calls.
Three weeks after the first failed adoption she was successful in placing the child in Utah through the Adoption Center of Choice because of the strict laws in place regarding unwed fathers.
The agency retains custody and Cody has never even seen a picture of his daughter. Cody has been fighting to keep his daughter in his life since before she was born.
We hope to reunite Cody with his daughter whom he desperately wants and change the laws in Utah so this doesn't happen again.
There has been no adoption as it has been tied up in court while Cody fights to keep his parental rights to his child. Shortly after Cody started his legal battle the mother changed her occupation on myspace to babyseller. That is where the name of the awareness site is derived from.

We the undersigned are shocked and appalled that a man who has shown interest and responsibility in his child can have that child adopted out without his consent.
The adoption laws in the state of Utah need to be re-examined and changes need to be made. One change that needs to be made is the line that is drawn on the notification of unwed fathers to the adoption taking place. Right now there is no line being drawn on when the information provided was reasonable enough for a man to know that an adoption is taking place.
In Cody O'Dea VS The adoption Center of Choice the mother said "I am in Utah. You will never father this child and will pay child support until the child is in college." I do not see how this is notification of a pending adoption. Misleading information was thrown in to further hide what was really going on.
Because of this lack of notification we also believe this child should be returned to Mr O'Dea at once. He never consented to this adoption and actually was successful in stopping an adoption through LDS Family Services three weeks prior to his daughters birth and relinquishment by the mother. I would suggest you visit http://www.babyselling.com and read the paperwork posted.
Changes need to be made to protect unwed fathers from out of state. The fathers that have taken all the legal steps needed to protect their rights in their home state and, if applicable, the state where the mother resides before she travels to Utah to give birth.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

The McConkie's have their nasty greedy fingers in everyone's pie in Utah, including aiding other un-ethicals. They are making it their goal to infiltrate the whole world as the same. Go to Creepy Pedophile (another cover-up) David McConkie's attorney page @ the McConkie law firm's webpage. His picture is creepy enough, but read under it. The Senior Oscar McConkie (the chair over the UT District Fed. crt rules/policy) also brags how he passed "priv. clergy communication laws", etc. So if an LDS pedophile doesn't want to molest his own children, he can have LDSFS steal one or more of another's for him/her. Pedophiles protect and usually share. And you wonder why there is so much deceit and secrecy surrounding these kidnappings? Senior Oscar McConkie also has been known to state offensive things about women, similar to "weak minded breeder cows". McConkie's and their LDSFS so called social work teams, are nothing more than Mormon modern day P. T. Barnums’, of the Barnum and Baily's Circus. Who said "There's a Sucker born every minute and cashed in on it. These entitled narcissistic psychopaths are also embedded in every branch of government. They'd like to think when they sneeze (SNAP)the whole world catches cold. Most criminals have this self grandiosity. Read all the Criminal Thinking Errors these so-called humanitarians have. Google "criminal thinking errors", you'll find them all and then go online to the the DSMIV-TR and type in "Anti-Social Personality Disorder" these criteria will help illustrate how they are able to commit such horrors. In fact, my grand-daughter was stolen by LDSFS, who coluded with the mothers' grandmother and mother (regardless of no grandparent legal rights to do so in Utah)in the planning and execution of my grand-daughters adoption to a pair of Infertile Delusionals who also work/practice@ the McConkie's Primary Medical Center/LDS Hospitals. And, to pretend as their's. Done w/o my son nor the mothers/his fiance-ring and all- knowledge or consent. Fact: Both parents were adults at the time and both clients of LDSFS, who approached LDSFS for Temple Marriage/Pre-marriage counseling. Both parents cared for their infant daughter(who came early)up until about 18 days when both mother and baby disappeared, upon my son coming back from work to find them gone. Both LDSFS and the mothers’ grandmother, mother and brother, continue to threaten w/ never seeing pictures or read letter that the (of course grandmother gets) should she try and contact our family. Sadly, we watched helplessly as our son and brother and friend became so distraught with such loss and because of them, a once happy over the moon father, took his own life. LDSFS, et al, also could care less about this too. In fact, they all, including the Abductors of his daughter, called us and cheered when they read about his death. As if they were all waiting like a bunch of blood thirsty Vampires for it to happen. Know this, these pre-abductors very well know about the father registry and that it’s set up on the fact that father’s are none the wiser to it. And, then wait to give the “Gottcha”. These individuals are mentally unstable and are Delusional, given any other circumstance, they’d be diagnosed as having a major mental illness. Just like LDSFS and the NCFA and their UT rep. Allan know, it’s after all like an insurance for assurance. UT. rep. Sheryl Allan (R), who crafted what she calls a gift to “un-wed fathers” -the label is enough to show her smelling back side pie hole. It’s really a gift for them, otherwise they’d be all out of a job! Duh! God they’re arrogantly stupid! Those who we forever hold Accountable: The SLC Downtown LDSFS, Dir. David Albrecht, LCSW, The counselor working with my son and fiancee, "Alicia Nelson Hill, SSW and the grandmothers friends at LDSFS, "Sharon E. Cottle, LCSW, David McConkie and their other fellow Nazi and attorney, David J. Hardy. Gordon Hinckley-former LDS Pres. FYI- I took them through a Licensing Tribunal Hearing and they couldn't keep their stories straight) They all sat there with such anger and evil, as the negativity ooozed from these soul-less and heartless cold as steal monsters. It was like sitting around a table with Manson, Bundy, Hitler and the like. LDSFS David J. Hardy also denied my son was ever their client and refused to hand over his records. And, the Tribunal Judge actually stated she was there to protect LDSFS's attorney David J. Hardy's Law Bar License. Boy, what entitled insulated protection from the truth. But then Alicia Nelson Hill, SSW, told on herself. Why? Because criminals are inconsistent. In fact, it’s the only consistent thing about them. They say and act in the moment and they never look back to what they said or did prior and that's why they get caught. Dave Tenneson, I'd love to get involved in a class action against these sociopaths. Perhaps we could create a Trust Fund for our stolen children and grandchildren.
Hell yes, no one should keep LDSFS, et al's dirty secrets and protect their atrocities for them. Otherwise, they too aren't morally opposed. And that, like LDSFS, et al, will be between them and their maker. I just want a front row seats for my family, especially my son and his little princess, when it goes down!

We're in a similar situation. Our son is losing his perental rights due to the fact that a form wasn't filled out at the hospital. The birthmother told us that she was not giving the baby up for adoption (by the advise of her attorney) while we were waiting at the hospital for my grandaughters delivery, the birthmothers attorney and adoptive parents were filling a petion for adoption. I can't understand how the laws in Idaho can be so messed up, that a child can be stolen away from her family . We love her and want her back so bad. I feel that the laws in Idaho are set up in a way that; babystealing attoneys and wealthy adopive parents are kidnapping and buying our children and we have NO CHOICE!!!! If anyone has any ideas or case law that can help save our family, please contact me at yourhome2000@hotmail.com Lisa Donnot
yes
# 498:
Well, this is terrible.I can only imagaine what you are going through and it breaks my heart. My heart goes out to you and your family. Don't lose faith. And good luck. A father has a right to his child, depite what the mother says isn't it BOTH of their decisions? Why doesn't his opinion matter? He is that childs FATHER! Give him his daughter back!
Hell yes!
# 497:
I think that's horrible that the state will not give the child to its rightful birth father. Shame on the government in Utah.
Absolutely. I never would have known things like this were going on. People should be aware of such a problem.
# 496:
A father has just as much right to his child as a mother. I'm a mom of 4 and I can't imagine my children not having their father as a constant figure in their lives. My heart goes out to you and your family and I pray you and your daughter will be united soon. God Bless and never give up!
This is definitely an issue the media needs to report on instead of most of the mindless garbage they constantly shove in our faces.
# 495:
ALL natural parents have the RIGHT to keep their OWN children!! If the mother chooses not to, then the father has every right to his own son or daughter.
The media doesn't hear enough of The Truth about adoption... they only want to hear the "loving option" myths. Return this child to his father!!
# 494:
# 493:
This kind of injustice is happening all over the country. No one has the right to steal either a father or mothers child. This is a violation of the 14th amendment. To take this persons child is kidnapping.
The media needs to be covering these cases and for the most part it refuses. This is because of an ignorance of these laws and an ignorance of its own rights and responsibilities as media. The attitude is that these are complicated cases and its gonna take some research and we don't like to do that because its work. In any case it amounts to extremely poor journalism. If Walter Cronkite had the attitude of the modern media the McCarthy era and Vietnam would still be going on.
# 492:
a father has every right to raise his child, good luck!
of course!
# 491:
I dont know you but I feel for you Im a mother of two and I would be lost without my children I cant believe she was soo mean and do this to you and the state she did it in would back her up a child needs to be with actual family and not strangers! I pray for you, you get yoour little girl.
Of course they should.
# 490:
i cant believe that a father cant keep his own child but the state sure dont have a problem going after them for child support hun im behind u 100% good luck
yes
# 489:
# 488:
It's high time fathers be given the respect they deserve. They are more than sperm donors and child support resources. This man deserves to raise his daughter. Lawyers do not deal with justice or fairness. They deal with reputations and their retainer fees. Tweak their egos good and hard, and hit them where it hurts the most...their pocketbooks.
The media should be reporting on the plight of fathers in the gross mischaracterizations on a wide scale. It's time for the media to show some integrity...if they have any.
# 487:
Keep fighting; dad's should have the choice too.
yes
# 486:
# 485:
Good luck and I will be praying for you. I cannot believe that this has been allowed to happen to you....I had NO idea this was even a possibility in this country.
# 484:
I live in Texas, where our state government has participated in the illegal seizure of LDS children. Certainly the state of Utah does not want to be known for the same type of illegal interference in parental rights?!
Yes, the media should report on this adoption law issue!!!
# 483:
# 482:
Its wrong for any man or woman to give a child up for adoption without their significant others knowledge and signature on the adoption papers. If we allow adoption agencies and those associated with them to get away with this then what is to stop them from stealing children off the street to sell them to couples who are desperate for children. I feel bad for the parents who are fighting to get their children back but I also feel for the couples who desperately want children. But we need to think about these children. Both the birth parents and the adopted parents love and want these children, what needs to be decided is was the adoption legal in the first place and what is best for the children. It doesn't matter if the adoption parents have more money, what their religion is or how strong their faith is, what is more important is how the adoption will affect these children now and in the future. If the birth parents want these children, love them, and can raise these children in a loving, caring home, then they should be raised by the birth parents. If your a couple trying to adopt a child, make sure you have both parents signature on the bottom line before taking these children in your home and loving them. That way you know in your heart that the chance of these children being taken from you is slim. Don't depend on adoption agencies or anyone else to tell you the whole truth. Protect yourself, the child and everyone else involved in the adoption by making sure the adoption is completely legal.
Yes. We hear about everything else in the news. People should be aware of how adoption agencies are going about getting children put up for adoption so that young mother's and father's can be aware of whats going on so they can better protect themselves and their children. Besides that people also need to be aware of the bad practices of these adoption agencies so they can join in the fight to stop adoption agencies from stealing children from birth parents who don't sign the adoption papers.
# 481:
This is outrageous. I can't believe this is happening in the US.
YES!!!!
# 480:
My husband & I will be praying for you. We hope you will be able to have custody of your daughter. What a father's love!
I just hope the media shows the truth about the story... and the passion of a father's love... what a wonderful Father's Day story
# 479:
I hope you can get your baby!
Yes!
# 478:
# 477:
Once again Utah authorities think they are above the law--it's time to let the public know what is going on here. Let's put this on FOX news and see what happens!
# 476:
# 475:
Please let Cody be the father of his child!
Yes, definitely.
# 474:
This is completely unfair and ridiculous- fathers have just as much right as mothers. Stop this immediately!
YES! ABSOLUTELY. People need to hear about this! People will care!
# 473:
# 472:
I cannot believe this, states take children from parent's willing to take care of their children. It is not up to the LDS to distinguish if a willing parent shouldn't be allowed to care an raise their child! This is wrong, and I hope the courts will be on his side! I wish I could help financially but I cannot at this time.
# 471:
Yes
# 470:
Another perfect example of how the LDS church has this hold on people's lives. Pray that GOD's will be done with the situation here, even if that means Cody not getting the baby. Just pray GOD will be in this, cause we know what he can do.
# 469:
This is just wrong! Clearly another example of (ultimately) the Mormon church wielding confiscated "authority", because of their involvement. Cody must be allowed to exercise his parental rights. Please pray for the salvation of all parties involved, especially the baby.
Yes, the media should be reporting on this sick form of human abuse.
# 468:
# 467:
This is unacceptable by no means! Children are not a piece of property; therefore should not be treated as one. No child shall be bought, they have no price. Please make sure this doesn't happen to another child.
The media needs to inform as many people as possible in order to ban the selling of children.
# 466:
The LDS adoption agency needs to be held accountable for flouting the law and denying Cody his rights as a parent. Shame on this agency.
# 465:
# 464:
To whom this may concern, It is Cody's right as the baby girl's father to have custody of her since Ashley the mother does not want the baby girl. The baby girl NEEDS her father. He isn't on his own with this...his mother and father are going to help raise the little girl. Don't LDS believe in following the law of the land? It seems pretty hipacritical for the LDS adoption agency not to do that. If you are true LDS live by your beliefs! Please I'm begging you give the little girl to her father Cody! There's plenty of babies out there that don't have birth parents that want them...let those babies be adopted not Cody's daughter!
# 463:
Please pray for Cody, Ashley, and their daughter. Please do not hate anyone for any reason, but love everyone. God bless all who read this.
# 462:
# 461:
# 460:
This baby stealing by Mormons is disgusting. They think they have special rights, and it sickens me to see this Father who has obvious proved by measure large, that he wants to be a good Father to the baby; treated this way! He has a right to his own child, and just because Mormons want the baby to be Mormon, doesn't give them right to steal the baby! Better a Father and a Grandmother to raise this child, than thiefs! I tried to write this nicely, but I'm so angry it was not possible. Give Cory his baby!!!!!!!
Yes the media should be reporting on these faulty adoption laws! I want to see the biggest stories done on this, and I want to see this crime end!
# 459:
Shame on the LDS Church for its unjust adoption practices. God will still judge you even if the state won't.
Shame on the media for not covering this and cowering to the Big Bad Wolf.
# 458:
they also want my grandson beening adopted hes 2 in july
STOP ADOPTING OUR CHILDREN
# 457:
Fathers have rights too! This man seems to be responsible and willing to be proactive in his babies life. How disgusting is it for a mother to give birth to a child just for the financial gain? What will the child think when she grows up and finds out the true nature of her adoption?
# 456:
Good Luck to you....you would be a wonderful Father! Anyone who wants a thier baby so badly should be allowed to raise thier child. I will pray for you and your daughter.
Yes the media should bring light to this situation. It would be amazing to see the amount of support you would get on a national level.
# 455:
Yes..the media needs to get involved.
# 454:
# 453:
# 452:
let the man have his child if he is capable of raising the baby. He must pass a background check and he able to support and love the baby
# 451:
He is the father and has just as much right to say what happens to his daughter as she does! The courts need to take control of this immediately!!
YES!
