yes because (in most cases) the adoptive parent iz the legal gaurdian.
When adoption occur the family adopting you will get checked out in detail and so will the child's past. To get adopted the biological parents have to sign a form to let you go. if they are not suitable parents your adoptive parents can become fosterparents.
If you are a adopted minor it is your adoptive parents that are your guardians. The court is the only one who can take away and give guardianship. Once your birth parents signed the papers they agreed to never getting their parental rights back. The courts don't allow it.
There are no photos of Steve Jobs' adoptive parents publicly available online. His adoptive parents have both passed away. To see a photo of his biological parents, see the related link.
Yes, if it is determined that you are being abused or neglected you can be taken away from an adoptive parent.
This happens differently in different versions. In the older stories- both of his adoptive parents pass away before he sets out to be on his own. Then it started being where his adoptive father passed away and his adoptive mother would be around for a few more years. Now it usually is where both of his adoptive parents are still around to the present while he is Superman.
No, running away is not usually the best solution if you are adopted. It's important to talk to your adoptive parents and share your thoughts and feelings with them. They might not be aware of your concerns and can work with you to find a solution that works for everyone. If you feel unsafe or need additional support, you can also reach out to a trusted adult or counselor for help.
This is an opinion question. Here is my opinion:To give them the legal status of natural children and thus the security that comes with this status.To prevent others with legal claims from taking them away from their adoptive parents.It allows people who could otherwise have no children to have children of their ownBecause the adoptive parents want to see them as their own children.Maybe others will add to this list.
Depends. It's up to the adoptive parents to decide. Your biological parents have given up every right to you. Many feel it would be too hard for a child to bond to the new family if the biological parents are still there. It can also depend on why your biological parents gave you up for adoption. If their rights were taken away due to drugs for instance, it would not be in your best interest to see them.
No. Grandparents don't have rights, only what the parents allow them to. If living in a state where grandparents have the right to petition for visitation, there is also no contact allowed if the child is adopted away. All ties are cut with the previous family.
A great deal will depend on how legally was the boy adopted? But if it was done legally then you pay nothing.
No, it is not legal. You would have to either have the gay parents relinquish rights or prove them to be unfit parents. Your birth mother gave up her legal rights when you were adopted. Since you are already 16, you might as well wait a couple years until you are a legal adult. The adoption papers I have seen included language along the lines of making it as though the the adoptive parents were the biological parents all along; which is truly best for giving the child's new relationship the strongest bond. In your case,however, you might try to present a respectful and convincing request with the adoptive parents to allow regular visitation or telephone communication if you believe it is "in your best interest as a child". If they say no, a lawyer would likely consult with you for free, and put your request before a court for around $1500. Gay or not, your adoptive parents stepped up to raise you and are worthy of your respect and honor throughout the process. IF the birth mother is clean, sober, honest and mature, contacting her might do your heart some good and add balance to your life.
No, it's not legally binding. It's not even sure you would get custody, it's up to the judge. Parents can only have requests of what will happen to their child when they pass away and there is no parent left. They can not decide what will happen. In your case I would recommend you try to find a relative or a friends parents since if your sibling end up in foster care it can be far away and if he/she gets adopted you are not allowed to see each other unless the adoptive parents say so. Would be a shame if you loose contact.
