STATE OF INDIANA  SS: COUNTY OF LAWRENCE IN THE LAWRENCE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT ADOPTION DOCKET #: 47C01-2509-AD-000027   IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF HYSTERIA HELEN-MARINA BARNETT, A minor   NOTICE TO UNNAMED FATHER The unnamed putative father of the child born to Karmin Brooke Mayo on September 6, 2023 or the person who claims to be the father of the child born to Karmin Brooke Mayo on September 6, 2023 is notified that a petition for adoption of the child was filed on September 16, 2025 in the office of the Clerk of Lawrence Circuit Court, Lawrence County Courts, Courthouse Plaza, 918 16th Street, Bedford, Indiana 47421. If the unnamed putative father wishes to contest the adoption of the child, the unnamed putative father must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC § 31-19-10-1 in the above named court or a paternity action under IC § 31-14 within fifteen (15) days after service of this notice. This notice may be served by publication. IF the unnamed putative father does not file a motion to contest the adoption or a paternity action under IC § 31-14 within fifteen (15) days after service of this notice; or after filing a paternity action under IC § 31-14 fails to establish paternity within a reasonable period as determined by the paternity court under IC § 31-14-21-9 through IC § 31-14-21-11, 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 putative father loses the right to establish paternity of the child under IC § 31-14. Nothing Karmin Brooke Mayo or anyone else says to the unnamed putative father 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 IC § 31-19-4-4 but does not exhaustively set forth the unnamed putative father's legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. Dated: 9/18/2025   Amy Voorhies Clerk of the Circuit Court Lawrence County HSPAXLP
