Kamisha L. Terry is notified that a petition for adoption of a male child named, Z.A.R.T, born on May 4, 2008, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, to Kamisha L. Terry, a petition for adoption of a male child named, Z.R.T, born on March 18, 2011, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, to Kamisha L. Terry, and a petition for adoption of a male child named, Z.T, born on December 2, 2009, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, to Kamisha L. Terry, have all been filed with the Clerk of the Kosciusko Circuit/Superior Courts, located at 121 N. Lake Street, Warsaw, Indiana 46580, 574-372-2334. The petitions for adoption allege that the consent to adoption of Kamisha L. Terry is not required because she has abandoned said children for at least six (6) months; or she has, for a period of at least one (1) year, failed without justifiable cause to communicate significantly with the children when able to do so or knowingly fails to provide for the care and support of the children when able to do so as required by law or judicial decree.
If Kamisha L. Terry seeks to contest the adoption of the children, Kamisha L. Terry must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with I.C. 31-19-10-1 in the above-named court not later than fifteen (15) days after the date of service of this notice.
If Kamisha L. Terry does not file a motion to contest the adoption within fifteen (15) days after service of this notice the above-named court will hear and determine the petition for adoption. The consent to adoption of Kamisha L. Terry will be irrevocably implied and Kamisha L. Terry will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of Kamisha L. Terry’s implied consent to the adoption.
No statement made to Kamisha L. Terry relieves Kamisha L. Terry of her obligations under this notice. This notice complies with I.C. 31-19-4.5-3 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes.
