MyFOX HOUSTON - Although Monday's hearing didn't happen, the 14-year-old mother was surrounded in court by supporters like numerous relatives and even state senator John Whitmire.

"No one has been served no one has been given proper notice like the law dictates for them to appear," said attorney Julia Maldonado who is representing the teenage mother.

"I think they just want the babies to be adopted," Maldonado said. "I think they wanted that all along from the very beginning."
