Re: parental rights
Better see an attorney about this who has experience with adoptions in the Commonwealth, but
unless there is a step-parent available in the near future of these children who would be ready, willing and able to step into the shoes of their biological father(small that those shoes may be, metaphorically speaking), it's unlikely that a
Virginia court would be willing to terminate this father's parental rights based merely upon the evidence which you've offered here in your question without something substantially more serious related to his fitness to parent(in my opinion).
