REDACTED COMPLAINT: THE PLAINTIFFS WOULD RESPECTFULLY SHOW UNTO THE COURT: The Plaintiffs are XXX and XXX. They reside at XXX. Both Plaintiffs are citizens and residents of Charleston County, State of South Carolina. The Plaintiffs are husband and wife having been married on December 5, 2009. XXX is forty-two (42) years of age having been born on March 30, 1977 in Savannah, Georgia; XXX forty (40) years of age having been born in Provo, Utah. The Defendants Stanley Johnson and Abigail Wages-Johnson are the maternal aunt and uncle of the minor child. They have legal custody of the minor child pursuant to an Order for Removal dated October 5, 2016 under Docket Number 16-DR-39-608. Defendants Stanley Johnson and Abigail Wages-Johnson are residents of Pickens County, State of South Carolina. The Defendant Kelly Aaron is the biological mother of the minor child Baby Girl Mckenzie. Defendant Kelly Aaron’s whereabouts are unknown. The biological father of the minor child, Baby Girl Mckenzie, is unknown and no man is listed on her birth certificate. The minor child is a Caucasian, female child who was born on February 4, 2014 in Easley, State of South Carolina. For the purposes of this action, she is known as Baby Girl Mckenzie. Plaintiffs desire to change the minor child’s name to McKenzie Leigh XXX, and request that they be permitted to use this name pending the final adoption. The Court has both personal and subject matter jurisdiction over these parties and this action. Venue is proper in Charleston County pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-9-40. Defendants Stanley Johnson and Abigail Wages-Johnson sought an adoptive placement for the minor child because they are no longer able to care for the minor child. Defendants Stanley Johnson and Abigail Wages-Johnson felt good about the Plaintiffs and the home they could provide for the minor child. Defendants Stanley Johnson and Abigail Wages-Johnson asked the Plaintiffs to take custody of the minor child for the purpose of adoption. Defendants Stanley Johnson and Abigail Wages-Johnson signed a Durable Power of Attorney document on August 1, 2019 allowing Plaintiffs to care for the minor child and placed the child in their physical custody at that time. Upon information and belief, as the current legal custodians of the minor child, Defendants Stanley Johnson and Abigail Wages-Johnson consent to the placement of the minor child with Plaintiffs for the purpose of custody and adoption. Upon information and belief, Defendant Kelly Aaron’s parental rights should be terminated pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-7-2570 (3), (4), and (7). Defendant Kelly Aaron’s parental rights should be terminated pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-7-2570(3) due to the fact the minor child has lived outside of her home for a period in excess of six (6) months and she has willfully failed to visit the child. Defendant Kelly Aaron’s parental rights should be terminated pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-7-2570(4) in that the minor child has lived outside of her home for a period in excess of six (6) months and she has willfully failed to support the child. Finally, Defendant Kelly Aaron’s parental rights should be terminated pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-7-2570(7) because she has abandoned the child. Since paternity of the minor child has not been conclusively determined, Plaintiffs’ counsel will search the South Carolina Responsible Father Registry. If the birth father failed to register, this failure constitutes an implied irrevocable waiver of the father’s right to notice of the adoption proceedings. If a birth father has registered, the Plaintiffs will serve him with notice of adoption proceedings. The Plaintiffs allege upon information and belief that this man (John Doe) has not maintained substantial and continuous or repeated contact with the minor Defendant in that he has not paid support for the minor Defendant, has not visited the minor Defendant or had regular communication with the minor Defendant. Plaintiffs allege the consent of John Doe is not required pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-9-310. Further, the parental rights of John Doe should be terminated pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-7-2570(7). The required pre-placement report has been filed with these pleadings. A post placement investigation report will be submitted to the Court prior to the final hearing. That to the best of the knowledge of the Plaintiffs, the minor Defendant owns no real property of any value either real or personal, in the State of South Carolina or elsewhere. That the Plaintiffs, XXX and XXX, desire to establish the relationship of parents and daughter with the minor Defendant and that the Plaintiffs are fit and proper persons, fully capable to care for the child and to provide for the child’s welfare in that they are biologically related to the minor child. The appointment of a Guardian ad Litem, by this Court, to protect the interests of the minor child. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs pray for: The termination of parental rights of the biological parents; The adoption of the minor child by the Plaintiffs XXX and XXX to be approved by the Court and for the State Registrar to issue a birth certificate showing the parents of the minor child to be the Plaintiffs; The records of these proceedings be sealed; After the passage of at least three (3) months following the filing of this Complaint, and the filing of a post placement report and accounting, for an Order of this Court directing that a birth certificate be issued in the name of MCKENZIE LEIGH XXX showing the Plaintiffs as the parents of the minor Defendant; and Such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the original Summons and Complaint in the above entitled action was filed in the office of the Clerk of Court for Charleston County on August 21, 2019 at 4:55 p.m.
