I believe you have your answer, so hate to post again on something you now know. :) But our AD's bio dad was not really involved either. He showed up to the initial intake meeting and he was never heard from again. His rights were still terminated (required for adoption) by default. They attempted to serve him at this last known address, after being unsuccessful at that, they published notification in the paper for a month. Then he was TPR'd by default at the trial (set for both mom and dad.)
As far as placing with his family, yes it would be considered. He was asked if he had family that could potentially take DD. He said he has no contact with his family, so gave no information. I don't know how much the CW actually tried to search for any of his family, but it would have been difficult anyway as he has a very common last name. (I just very recently found out they live half way across the country from us- so CW probably wouldn't have found them anyway just searching by name.)
