NOTICE OF ADOPTION
The unnamed putative father of the child born to Sasha Kay Alene King on March 21, 2008,
or the person who claims to be the father of the child born to Sasha Kay Alene King on March
21, 2008, is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed in the office of the Clerk of
the Hamilton Superior Court, Room No. 1, One Hamilton County Square, Noblesville, Indiana.
If the unnamed putative father seeks to contest the adoption of the child, the unnamed putative
father must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with 1C 31-19-10-1 in the
above named court or a paternity action under IC 31-14 within thirty (30) days after the date of
service of this notice. This notice may be served by publication.
If the unnamed putative father:
(1) Does not file:
(A) motion to contest the adoption; or
(B) a paternity action under 1C 31-14;
within thirty (30) days after service of this notice; or
(2) after filing a paternity action under 1C 31-14 fails to establish paternity;
the above named court shall hear and determine the petition for adoption. The unnamed
putative father’s consent is irrevocably implied and the unnamed putative father loses the right to
contest the adoption or the validity of the unnamed putative father’s implied consent to the adoption.
The unnamed father loses the right to establish paternity of the child under IC 31-14.
Nothing Sasha Kay Alene King or anyone else says to the unnamed putative father of the
child relieves the unnamed putative father of his obligations under this notice.
Under Indiana law, a putative father is a person who is named as or claims that he may be
the father of a child born out of wedlock but who has not yet been legally proven to be the child’s
father.
This notice complies with Indiana Code 31-19-4-4, but does not exhaustively set forth the
unnamed putative father’s legal obligations under the Indiana Adoption Statues. A person being
served with this notice should consult the Indiana Statutes.
