whereabouts. A year ago, we hired a lawyer to proceed with
adoption. The birth father was presented with a form,
"termination of parental rights". He was in prison at the time. He refused to sign the form. When he was released
from prison, he disappeared again. We would like to know of
our options. We live in Utah. Many lawyers have told us
that my husband cannot adopt my daughter unless the birth
father releases his right of paternity. Any information will
be helpful. Thank you, Lesa.
