NO! Although sometimes it may be "easier" to simply terminate one's parental rights, the court's have recently held that we cannot do this! The California Court of Appeals recently held, "The public policies favoring creation of a father-child relationship as a source of emotional and financial support, and declaring the preeminence of a parent's obligation to support his or her minor children, trump any policy that would favor private ordering of parenthood after the birth of a child."
To be honest, I actually agree with this ruling.
