11. How will the non-surrendering parent know about the birth and the surrender of the baby?
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Statute requires that a reasonable attempt to identify the non-surrendering parent must be made, therefore, the emergency service provider will ask for the identity of the non-surrendering parent at the time of the newborn's surrender. The statute further requires that the child placing agency make a reasonable effort to identify and locate the non-surrendering parent at the time parental rights are terminated. If the name and address of that parent is unknown, the child placing agency shall provide notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the newborn was surrendered.
