The short answer is yes. The law states taht if the natural parents fail to support the child in 12 of the past 14 months (or maintain contact during that period of time) you can do an adoption without the consent of the parents (also caled a AWOC). There is as you might guess a lot of paperwork involved. You should probably consult with a attorney. Good Luck. Bob Adcox
