Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My daughter's mother is seeking to have me stripped of my parental rights so her ex-husband can adopt my child. She is presently married to another man. However, she has a daughter with her ex-husband and he always included my daughter with his daughter's activities. I have had limited contact with my daughter due to the strained relationship I have with her mother. My child support is current and paid on time.

Is it possible for my parental rights to be stripped and her ex-husband adopt my daughter? This seems ridiculous to me. I have no intention of letting him adopt my child. Here are some additional details: My daughter (13) resides in Indiana with her mother, the ex-husband resides in Illinois, the child support case is in Illinois, and I reside in NC.
