NOTICE TO UNNAMED / UNKNOWN PARENTS
TO: The UNNAMED, UNKNOWN PUTATIVE PARENT(S) of a Boy (gender) infant that was voluntarily surrendered on Friday, June 12, 2026 in Grant County and born approximately from May 12, 2026 to June 12, 2026, or any person who claims to be a parent of the infant.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a petition to terminate the parent-child relationship was filed in the office of:
Clerk of Court, Grant County Superior Court No. 2
Grant County Courthouse
101 E 4th St, Marion, IN 46952
YOU MUST RESPOND If the unnamed / unknown putative parent seeks to contest the petition to terminate the parent-child relationship of the infant, the unnamed putative parent must file a motion to contest the petition in accordance with IC 31-35-1.5-8 in the above-named court WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS after the date of service of this notice.
This notice may be served by publication. When notice is served by publication, this notice will be published three (3) times.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that if the unnamed / unknown putative parent does not file a motion to contest the petition within THIRTY (30) DAYS after service of this notice, the abovenamed court shall hear and determine the petition to terminate the parent-child relationship.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that if the unnamed / unknown putative parent does not file a motion to contest the petition within THIRTY (30) DAYS after service of this notice, the unnamed putative parent's consent is IRREVOCABLY IMPLIED and the unnamed putative parent loses the right to contest the petition to terminate the parent-child relationship or the validity of the unnamed / unknown putative parent's implied consent to the termination of the parent-child relationship. The unnamed / unknown putative parent loses the right to establish a biological relationship with the child in Indiana or any other jurisdiction. Nothing anyone else says to the unnamed / unknown putative parent of the infant relieves the unnamed / unknown putative parent of his or her obligations under this notice.
Under Indiana law, a putative parent is a person who claims that he or she may be the father or mother of an infant who has been voluntarily surrendered but who has not yet been legally proven to be the child's father or mother.
This notice complies with I.C. 31-35-1.5-5 but does not exhaustively set forth the unnamed putative parent's legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes.
