1Opinion of the Court
VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice.
Mike (a pseudonym), the natural father to A.M.B., appealed a district court’s final decree of adoption of A.M.B. by A.M.B.’s stepfather, Ronald (a pseudonym), upon a finding that Mike’s consent to the adoption was not required. We affirm.
Mike and Kim (a pseudonym) had a sexual relationship from October 1989 to July 1990, during which time A.M.B. was conceived. Both resided in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, metropolitan area. Mike and Kim saw each other frequently throughout Kim’s pregnancy, and Mike attended and shared in half the expense of Kim’s Lamaze classes.
