Need Sample Petition to Terminate Parental Rights

A termination of parental rights cannot occur unless there is an adoption petition filed or the termination is done by the state. A parent may not just voluntarily give up rights because they no longer wish to provide support or have lost interest, etc. I used the governmental form provided by the deparment of social services when my ex gave up his rights and my husband adopted my daughter. The form just had to be witnessed properly. I hope this helps.
