Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
incarcerated father's parental rights concerning adoption of their children in
My fiance is incarcerated in the Texas prison system.
He has a daughter from a previous relationship. While
he has been in prison Child Protective Services has
removed the little girl from custody of the biological
mother. They have demanded that he give up all rights
to his little girl so that she may be put up for
adoption by the state. His lawyer states that there
is nothing he can do for him. What can we do to
keep his little girl from being adopted by complete
strangers? This is killing him and he feels hopeless.
Can I do anything to help?

Re: incarcerated father's parental rights concerning adoption of their children
He can oppose the termination of his parental rights, but he would have to do it by representation. He won't be let out of prison for any court appearances. But, his parental rights can be terminated without his consent because he is not providing for the child, and the court would likely find the adoption to be in the child's best interest.
