Re: Child abandonment
If you want to petition to terminate your child's parental rights you must file in court. His father will have to be put on notice and have his rights terminated before anyone can legally adopt him.

Hi, there is an abandonment law in New York. The time period is six months prior to the commencement of the adoption proceeding. I am an adoption attorney and would be happy to set up a meeting with you regarding your case. Please email me at [email protected]
