We had this happen in NE, however the birthfather contested one week before the baby was born, so the adoption was ceased at that time. He had been no where in sight until this time of the pregnancy. He did file the punitive father law and also did set up a court date within the 30 day period, which sounds the same in Indiana. Birthmom had no choice but to parent and he was going to fight for 100% custody. We had no rights as the baby was not born yet. I can't imagine if we would have brought him home...my heart goes out to you and all who are going through this. Since then, my husband and I have made a commitment to start researching state laws, etc. and found that the state of NE may not be as good of an advocate for adoptive parents than other states. Has anyone heard of this or have more info?
