Description
[18 WashApp Page 260] This is an appeal from an order of denial of a motion to vacate a decree of adoption. Lerry Hickey and Lynda Hickey were husband and wife and the parents of the two children here involved. They were divorced December 4, 1970. By the terms of the divorce decree, the custody of the children was awarded to the mother, subject to visitation reserved to the father, and he was ordered to pay support for each of the children. The mother was married to David Jorgenson on February 19, 1971. In April 1974 the Jorgensons filed a petition for adoption by the stepfather. The court, on affidavit of the mother, under RCW 26.32.040(4) and RCW 26.32.050, ordered a hearing to adjudicate the need for the consent of the father under RCW 26.32.080. Subsection 3 of that statute provides that if it appears by affidavit of the petitioner that a person entitled to notice cannot, after diligent search, be found within the state, and if a copy of a notice has been mailed to such person at his last known place of residence, then the court shall order notice by publication in a legal newspaper once a week for 3 consecutive weeks, the first publication of said notice to be at least 25 days prior to the date fixed for the hearing.
