Sorry, I mean the county attorney and yes, you should contact them - however, I don't think it will be an 'uncontested adoption' - they were very clear, when we contacted them, that in order to work witih them, we have to have the fathers willingness to terminate his rights and all of the paperwork to make it happen. Otherwise, we'd have to hire a private attorney.

I did end up hiring an attorney in the state where his father lived and had him sign the papers with the advice of counsel (at my expense) and when it was all said and done, I knew I had what I needed to move forward and I knew he had made an informed legal decision about signing.

Just give them a call and see what they say.

(OAG = Office of the Attorney General) but I mean the county attorney anyway

Good luck!
