A: Your question implies that you were never contacted because no one had your correct address. Notice to you was probably completed by "publication" in a legal paper, which is your official notice. First try contacting the social worker handling the case so you can become involved in the children's lives. If you fail to act, your parental rights can be permanently severed. Contact a lawyer for assistance.
