YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a petition has been filed in this court praying that the parent-child relationship between the parents of the abovenamed child and the above-named child be terminated. The object of the action is to seek an order relinquishing the child to the Petitioners for adoption and to terminate the parent-child relationship. The child was conceived in December 2014 in Lakewood, Washington and was born in Lakewood, Washington on September 5, 2015. The child's birth mother is Milicia Eisiminger. The Petitioners are also seeking temporary placement of the child with them. The court hearing on this matter shall be on the 26th day of October, 2015 at 9:00 am in the King County Superior Court; address: King County Courthouse, Ex Parte Department, Court Room W-325, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104. YOUR FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THIS HEARING MAY RESULT IN A DEFAULT ORDER PERMANENTLY TERMINATING ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS TO THE ABOVE-NAMED CHILD. NOTICE: State and federal law provide protections to defendants who are on active duty in the military service, and to their dependents. Dependents of a service member are the service member's spouse, the service member's minor child, or an individual for whom the service member provided more than one-half of the individual's support for one hundred eighty days immediately preceding an application for relief. One protection provided is the protection against the entry of a default judgment in certain circumstances. This notice only pertains to a defendant who is a dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days. Other defendants in military service also have protections against default judgments not covered by this notice. If you are the dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days, you should notify the petitioner or the petitioner's attorney in writing of your status as such within twenty days of the receipt of this notice. If you fail to do so, then a court or an administrative tribunal may presume that you are not a dependent of an active duty member of the national guard or reserves, and proceed with the entry of an order of default and/or a default judgment without further proof of your status. Your response to the petitioner or petitioner's attorneys about your status does not constitute an appearance for jurisdictional purposes in any pending litigation nor a waiver of your rights. You are further notified that any nonconsenting parent or alleged father has a right to be represented by an attorney, and an attorney will be appointed for an indigent parent who requests an attorney. You are further notified that your failure to file a claim of paternity under Chapter 26.26 RCW within thirty days of the first publication of this notice or to respond to the petition within thirty days of the first publication of this notice is grounds to terminate your parent-child relationship with respect to the child. You are further notified that if you are the alleged father of an Indian child, and you acknowledge paternity of the child, or if your paternity of the child is established prior to the termination of the parent-child relationship, your parental rights may not be terminated unless you: (i) give valid consent to termination, or (ii) your parent-child relationship is terminated involuntarily pursuant to 26.33 or 13.34 RCW. One method of filing your response and serving a copy on the Petitioner is to send them your written response by certified mail with return receipt requested. WITNESS the Honorable SUSAN J. CRAIGHEAD, Judge/Court Commissioner of said Superior Court and the seal of said Court hereunto affixed this 11th day of September, 2015. BARBARA MINER King County Superior Court Clerk By A.
