¶2*691I join the majority’s opinion in its entirety. The majority states that “upon birth of an illegitimate child, the right of the natural mother to immediate custody is superior.” I write separately solely to emphasize that the natural mother’s superior right to “immediate custody” of her child does not extend to any judicial proceedings that may ensue if the unmarried father seeks custody of the child. See Code § 20-124.2(B).
