Text: ¶ 20 SUMMERS, C.J., HARGRAVE, V.C.J., LAVENDER, SIMMS, KAUGER, and WATT, JJ., concur. ¶ 21 OPALA, J.  concurs in judgment. OPALA, J., with whom SIMMS, J., joins, concurring in judgment. ¶ 1 I concur in the court's judgment but not in its pronouncement. Were I to write separately, I would regard (a) standing to challenge (or cloud) the unwed sire's legal interest in his out-of-wedlock child as well as (b) the quantum of putative father's rights to the claimed offspring as issues governed by state law rather than by the minima of protection afforded by the constitutional jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court.
