You would have to give the attorney notice of the hearing. It is very easy to mess up an adoption, so much so that most attorneys will not even attempt an adoption case. You really should have an attorney that really knows adoptions to help you and they will be able to deal with notice issues.
No. By statute the mother is considered the custodial parent of a child born to parents that were never married. The good news is the father can establish his rights by filing an action in the district court.

My 18 year old daughter would like for me to legally adopt her. Is there a way we could do it without getting a lawyer involved?
Adoptions are so complex that most lawyers will not even attempt to do an adoption. An adult adoption will be easier than a child but I think it would be worth your time to meet with an expert to learn the process and your options.
I need help filing emergency custody trying to find a form.
