What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Does anyone know if there is a law regarding parental abandonment in Massachusetts? My sons biological dad has not seen him or had any contact whatsoever in 4 years. I am now remarried with a new baby and my husband wants to adopt my older son. My son has no recollection of his biological dad, as the last time his father saw him he was only 5 months old. My husband has been in my sons life since he was 12 months old, so this is the man he considers "daddy". I dont know where my ex is at this time, do I need to locate him to terminate his rights? And does he have to voluntarily sign over his rights even after all this time of no contact? Everything I have read points to the fact that he does,but I guess Im just hoping to find something else. Thanks everyone.
