IN RE The Adoption Of B.N.S.

Minor

SUMMONS AND NOTICE OF ADOPTION

Adrian Marie Swenden and Morgan Andrew Paylor are notified that a petition for adoption of her child with the intitials B.N.S., born to Adrian Marie Swenden and Morgan Andrew Paylor on June 25, 2007, was filed in the office of the Clerk of Court, One East McClain Avenue, Scottsburg, Indiana 47170. The petition for adoption alleges that the consent to adoption by Adrian Marie Swenden and Morgan Andrew Paylor are not required because

they have abandoned or deserted the child for at least six (6) months immediately preceding the date of the filing of the petition for adoption and/or for the reason that the child has been in the custody of the petitioners for at least one (1) year when Adrian Marie Swenden and Morgan Andrew Paylor have failed without justifiable cause to communicate significantly with the child when able to do so, and/or knowingly failed to provide for the care and support of the child when able to do so as required by law or judicial decree. If Adrian Marie Swenden or Morgan Andrew Paylor seeks to contest the adoption of the child, Adrian Marie Swenden and/or Morgan Andrew Paylor must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice. If Adrian Marie Swenden and/or Morgan Andrew Paylor does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice (the date of the last of 3 publications) the above named court will hear and determine the petition for adoption. The consent to adoption of Adrian Marie Swenden and Morgan Andrew Paylor will be irrevocably implied and Adrian Marie Swenden and Morgan Andrew Paylor will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of their implied consents to the adoption. No oral statement made to Adrian Marie Swenden or Morgan Andrew Paylor relieves either her or him of their obligations under this notice. This notice complies with IC 31-19-4.5-3 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations or rights under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes or an attorney of his or her choice.
