Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

There is a similar question about a son's name change that I would like to ask a follow on question to. What if I do not know the father's whereabouts? Someone said that a posting will be in the newspaper for 3 days and if left unanswered, then it is legally up to me. Is this true?
