IN THE JUVENILE COURT OF KNOX COUNTY, TENNESSEE   STATE OF TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN'S SERVICES            PETITIONER   IN THE MATTER OF: Baby Girl Knox, aka Natalie Jane Knox, b.d. 5/28/2026 A CHILD UNDER EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE   ORDER FOR PUBLICATION   In this cause, it appears to the Court from the allegations of the Petition that the Department of Children's Services is seeking to declare Baby Girl Knox, aka Natalie Jane Knox, a voluntarily delivered child pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 68-11-255 and Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-142. A copy of said Petition may be obtained at the Office of the Juvenile Court Clerk of Knox County, Knoxville, Tennessee, (865) 215-6400. The child was born on May 28, 2026, in Knoxville, Tennessee, at what appears to be full-term gestation, has light brown hair and blue eyes and weighed 6 lbs 13oz and was 19 inches long and appears to be of Caucasian descent. The child was voluntarily left at Tennova North Knoxville Regional Medical Center for adoption on May 28, 2026. The mother is of unknown descent and her county of origin is unknown. The father is of unknown descent and his county of origin is unknown. Failure by the biological mother to seek contact with the child through the Department of Children's Services or to revoke the voluntary delivery within thirty (30) days of the date of the last publication of notice shall constitute abandonment of the child and of the mother's interests, constituting grounds for termination of her parental rights. The putative father of said child who fails to claim paternity by contacting the Department or by registering with the putative father registry within thirty (30) days of the date of the last publication of notice shall be barred from thereafter bringing any action to establish paternity of the infant. Such failure will constitute abandonment of any right to notice of, or to a hearing in, any judicial proceeding for the adoption of such infant and that consent of such putative father shall not be required for adoption of the infant. In the event that the biological mother or the putative father require additional information, they should contact Olivia Rader, Family Services Worker, Department of Children's Services, 2600 Western Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee, 37921, phone: 865-306-9987. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, that said biological mother and putative father enter their appearance herein on November 3, 2026, at 9 A.M, and that a copy of this order be published for four consecutive weeks in The Knox News Sentinel, a newspaper published in Knox County, Tennessee. The Final Hearing to terminate the parental rights of the biological mother and of the putative father is scheduled for November 3, 2026, at 9 A.M. Failure of said persons claiming an interest in the child to appear at the final hearing will result in the loss of their parental rights to the child.   Enter this 29th day of May, 2026   /s/ Stacy Eckard JUVENILE COURT JUDGE MAGISTRATE   APPROVED FOR ENTRY: /S/ Emily K.
