In the Matter of the Adoption of C.A.H., A.C.S. (Father) v. R.S.E. and R.K.E. (Grandparents)

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s finding that the father’s consent to the adoption was irrevocably implied solely because he missed a single hearing, holding that such a finding requires more than one missed appearance. The Court remanded for further proceedings on the father’s contest of the adoption.
