Re: Adoption
You can petition the probate court. It seems you have grounds to terminate the noncustodial parents rights. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.

Contact a lawyer who does adoptions. If you are in the metro Detroit area, you can give me a call. You want to make sure it is done correctly. Bill Stern 248-353-9400
