If a person, generally a relative or a step parent, files a Petition for Adoption, the biological father must respond by filing an answer regarding the minor child. If he fails to file the petition and if there is termination language in the Petition for Adoption, the biological father will be in default and will lose all his parental rights. Therefore, it is very important, if you are a biological parent and/or an adopting parent to contact and consult with an experienced adoption attorney. If you or someone you know is need of family law services, please do not hesitate to call Garg & Associates at 281-210-0010 for a consultation today or use our Contact Form.
