Adoption of K.T. CA3
K. T.’s mother (mother) met appellant when she was 17 years old; they began dating. In 2013, mother learned she was pregnant with K. T. Mother was still living with her own parents and when they learned about the pregnancy, mother’s parents were “very upset” with her. Mother and appellant thus decided to live with appellant’s mother, “Lynn.”
K. T. was born in 2014. Mother and appellant were never married but appellant’s name is listed on the birth certificate. Following K. T.’s birth, appellant never executed a voluntary declaration of paternity and the court never issued an order establishing paternity.
In 2015, after realizing the extent of appellant’s heroin addiction, mother moved out of Lynn’s home and moved back in with her parents; she took K. T. with her. Lynn also moved out but appellant remained in their mobile home as a squatter until he was evicted. Over the next two years, appellant would contact mother, often for money.
