The consent to adoption of Maverick Degroot will be irrevocably implied and D’Tric Demon Degroot will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of D’Tric Demon Degroot’s implied consent to the adoption. No oral statement made to D’Tric Demon Degroot relieves D’Tric Demon Degroot of D’Tric Demon Degroot’s obligations under this notice. This notice complies with IC 31-19-4.5-3 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes.
