There is a specific section of New Jersey law dealing with your situation. I would suggest that you contact an attorney in your area familiar with adoptions to discuss the requirements. Good luck!

You have to make a good faith effort to contact the father and/or give notice by publication in order to terminate his parental rights. Call me at 800 273 7933 if you have more questions. To learn about me click on www.garymooreattorneyatlaw.abn1.net/home.asp.
