A year ago, we hired a lawyer to proceed withadoption. 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 releasedfrom prison, he disappeared again. We would like to know ofour options. We live in Utah. Many lawyers have told usthat my husband cannot adopt my daughter unless the birth father releases his right of paternity. Any information willbe helpful. Thank you, Lesa.
