Abandonment and being unfit were the basis of filing our petition, saying we didn't need their consent (this was for both bios as they both disappeared). However, bio dad has a lawyer paid for by the Mexican consulate and a lawyer from the public defenders office, even though he's not been in the US since 2 years ago and never allowed back here again.
We are still waiting to finish the trial to determine that he really did abandon the kids. There have been 3 days of trial since Feb. 08. (We filed Feb 07--a year went by w/ no action). The first day from 9-6 (an hour for luncy) we only got through 3 police officer's testimony....that had nothing to do with the kid's case, but the arrests for DV that landed bio dad in jail in the first place. 2 witnesses the 2nd day and 1 witness the 3rd. We haven't been to court since April. Continuance, continuance, continuance.
We will hopefully get there one day!!!
