No. Even though an unwed biological mother holds full custodial rights to the child the father of the child must be notified and agreeable to such action.
The court will require that paternity has been established and the biological father has been notified of the guardianship petition. The father then has the option of agreeing or contesting the matter.
FYI, a parent regardless of marital status cannot arbitrarily sign over the rights of their child/children. Temporary custodial rights can be given to another family member or qualified adult. Temporary custody in most instances is considered to be 90 days or less. During that time the biological parent(s) must keep in contact with the caregiver and the child through visitation, phone contact and/or written correspondence. It is also necessary to have a written agreement relating to the arrangement of financial support for the minor child/children.
