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

Sounds like you have a pretty cut and dry case..Unless you moved and the dad didn't know where you were. I wouldn't worry so much. Especially since your son is 12 and probably does not know this man. The judge will probably just terminate his rights. Please keep us posted. And good luck!
