A: The only way that could happen is if he were to convince the court that you had disappeared. It's not going to happen.

I'm guessing that you are suggesting an adoption proceeding in Alabama. I so, technically, you would ask this in Justia › Ask a Lawyer › Alabama › Family Law ›, but I'm confident that the answer would be same either way.
