My son is 12 and hasn't seen [EDITED]since April of 2000, he recieved termination of parental rights and has filed to contest adoption...does anyone know what we are in for, I am totally oblivious here..Having never gone through this, my husband and I are not sure what to do. Do we sit idly by while he does this?? Our adoption specialist said that when we go for our hearing in front of the judge our son may be able to speak...he is 12 should I let him or should I ask that he go alone with the judge...so many questions...how can after nearly 5 years<and before that he was in prison for 5 years>, a person actually have the nerve to contest anything,,,you would think he would be embarrassed!! I know I would...any help with this would be great oh by the way we live in MI. Thanks for your help...Heather
