Adoption of a child may be decreed without the consent required in Section 7-112 of this Title only if the parents or the traditional custodians having custody, if the parents be deceased, have:

A. Had their parental or custodial rights terminated by a decree of a Court of competent jurisdiction;

B. Been adjudicated incompetent by reason of mental disease, defect, injury or by abuse of alcohol or drugs, and it appears by a preponderance of the evidence that such person will be unable to provide the necessary care and control of said child for a significant period of time prior to the child reaching majority; or

C. For a period of twelve (12) months immediately preceding the filing of the petition for adoption, wilfully failed, refused or neglected to provide and contribute to the support of the child either:

1. In substantial compliance with any decree of a Court of competent jurisdiction ordering certain support to be contributed to; or

2. If no Court order has been made ordering certain support, then within available means through contribution of financial support, physical necessities such as food, clothing and shelter contributions or by performing labor or other services for and at the request of the person or agency having custody.

D. Been finally adjudicated guilty of a felony and sentenced to death or to a term of imprisonment which is likely to prevent release of the parent for a period such that the parent will be unable to provide the necessary care and control of said child for a significant period of time prior to the child reaching majority.

In such cases, it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of such parent, or to terminate the parental rights of such parent prior to adoption of the child.
