Re: adoption
The natural father's parental rights must be terminated. He will either need to consent or receive notice and have his rights terminated. The adoption proceeding will need to be filed. I suggest that you hire an attorney to help you with the process. If you are in the Wichita area, you may call our firm 316-265-7272 for a free initial one-half hour consultation.
