Being her father would be enough of a right in many cultures. For you it might be a very emotive issue, in other cultures it's not, especially if you come from a culture/country where e.g. only one in two infants of that age make it to adult life for instance and there is less "commitment" or "attachment" to an infant as we see in our cultures were infants are rare and precious.
E.g. when I asked one of my African colleagues how many brothers and sister he had, he answered "Thirteen, of which six surviving".

As I said before, the circumstances of how this guy ended up alone with his kid are not clear.
I'd suspend judgment until I'd have more information.
Oh, and, giving her away for free in stead of selling her, could also be interpreted as associating no value at all to her being.
