By the way, I do have some good news for the poster. I have just located a section of the adoption code that states as follows:
§10-7505-4.1.
A. If a consent to adoption or permanent relinquishment for adoption
has not been obtained from both parents of a minor who is the subject
of a petition for adoption, and the rights of the nonconsenting parent
or parents have not previously been terminated, the petitioner for
adoption, a consenting parent, or a legal guardian or legal custodian
of the minor to be adopted must file an application to the court
stating the reason that the consent or relinquishment of the parent or
parents is not necessary. In the alternative, if the nonconsenting
parent is a putative father of a minor born out of wedlock, the
petitioner for adoption, a consenting parent, or a legal guardian or
legal custodian of the minor may file an application to terminate the
parental rights of the putative father. The grounds for terminating a
putative father pursuant to this section shall be identical to the
grounds for permitting an adoption without the consent of a parent,
pursuant to Section 7505-4.2 of this title.
Therefore, you can file for adoption of your grandchild. For more of the code, go to this website:
