Since he falls under the grounds of which he does not have the right to object, do I still need to summons him to court/notify him of the adoption?

I am filing for termination of father's rights/stepparent adoption in Mississippi. My daughter's biological father has been in and out of jail and we have not seen/heard from in over a year. My daughter is almost 2 now. According to Chapter 17 of the Mississippi state statutes (93-17-7, to be exact) it states that "an adoption may be allowed over the objection of a parent" when that parent "has not consistently offered to provide necessary food, clothing, appropriate shelter"; has "a substance abuse or chemical dependency" and whose "past or present conduct, including criminal convictions, would pose a risk of substantial harm." Also he has engaged in acts that are grounds for termination based on 93-15-103. So that is the background. Would the judge grant termination based on evidence I provide that he has failed to do all that I mentioned above (from the statutes) even if the judge knows that the other parent has NOT been notified?
