What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
My husband wants to adopt my girls. I understand the process about step-parent adoptions, however my dilemma is how to contact the bio-father.
He has not seen my second daughter as he left when I was pregnant, made no efforts to contact either of the girls in almost 10 years. I went through Child support to try and find him, but 2 years ago received a letter stating they were closing the case since they had exhausted their search with no results. If the State can not find him how do I go about terminating his rights so my husband can adopt?
