The Indiana Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court s denial of a woman s petition to adopt her stepchildren, saying the kids’ biological mother did not make a good-faith attempt to contact them for a prolonged period of time, and thus her consent to the adoption is not required.
The opinion, issued Wednesday, was authored by appeals court Judge Nancy H. Vaidik and affirmed by judges Cale J. Bradford and Elaine B. Brown. In the opinion, Vaidik wrote that the biological mother, who struggled with addiction, left Indiana to “get clean” and had no meaningful contact with her children for two and a half years.
