IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR CLARK COUNTY STATE OF INDIANA IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF: AUDRIANA DANIELLE-MEE THOMPSON CASE NO. 10C03-1604-AD-024 NOTICE TO NAMED FATHER ALEXZANDER THOMPSON, who has been named the father of the child born to MEGAN DANIELLE-MEE THOMPSON SNYDER on August 2, 2009, or who claims to be the father of the child born to MEGAN DANIELLE-MEE THOMPSON SNYDER on August 2, 2009, is notified that a Petition for Adoption of the child was filed in the Office of the Clerk of Clark County Circuit Court No. 3, Jeffersonville, Indiana 47130. If ALEXZANDER THOMPSON seeks to contest the adoption of the child, he must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with I.C. 31-19-10-1 in the above-named Court not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this Notice. If ALEXZANDER THOMPSON does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice, the above named Court will hear and determine the Petition for Adoption. His consent will be irrevocably implied and he will lose his right to contest either the adoption or the validity of his implied consent to the adoption. He will lose his right to establish his paternity of the child under I.C. 31-14. Nothing MEGAN DANIELLE-MEE THOMPSON SNYDER or anyone else says to ALEXZANDER THOMPSON relieves ALEXZANDER THOMPSON of his obligations under this Notice. The biological mother and petitioner are asserting that consent to adoption is not required by the father because the father has for a period in excess of one year failed without justifiable cause to communicate significantly with the child when able to do so and has knowingly failed to provide for the care and support of the child when able to do so as required by law or judicial decree. The father has abandoned the child and it is in the child's best interests that the Court grant a petition for adoption without the consent of the father. This notice complies with I.C. 31-19-4-5 but does not exhaustively set forth a legal father's legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. /s/Susan Popp SUSAN POPP, CLARK COUNTY CLERK PREPARED BY: LISA GARCIA REGER Indiana Attorney No. 17969-29 LORCH NAVILLE WARD LLC 506 State Street, P.O.
