Can a 25 years old adult be adopted by a US citizen who is her aunt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it is possible for a 25-year-old adult to be adopted by a US citizen who is her aunt. Adoption laws vary by state, so it would be necessary to consult with an attorney who specializes in adoption to understand the specific requirements and process in the relevant state. Additionally, the adoption process for an adult is typically different from that of a minor.

No, legally a sibling cannot adopt another sibling unless there are specific circumstances or legal arrangements in place. In general, adoption is a legal process that involves the transfer of parental rights from one individual or couple to another individual or couple who are not biologically related.

Is a 45 year old woman too old for a 35 year old man?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it can work. I was very much in love with a man at the same ages, but he had a heart attack and ended the relationship because of it. Realize that this would happen when the ages are that large. Another thought is that with that gap in ages as he gets older he may want to do less and retire.

Cost of giving your baby up for adoption?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

100000 dollars dot including the room decs.

No, so not true! Its does NOT cost 100,000 dollars to adopt! It can cost as little as 5,000 dollars! Adopting a child will cost 5,000 to 30,000 dollars (doesn't include the basics such as feeding them, giving them water, clothes, etc.) If you want to adopt a child who is currently in a different country, then it will cost a couple thousand dollars more. Adopting is a great idea! I suggest a fundraiser to help get the money!

Can a parent make a 13 year old give their baby up for adoption?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In some states when you become pregnant it takes the choice away from the parent. In some cases, doctors arent allowed to tell the mother or father that the child is pregnant. Where I live when a teen becomes pregnant, that teen then has the right to apply for benefits on their own independent of their parent. Best thing to do if you are unsure is to call your local health department. You can ask them and never tell them your name. Each state is different.

AnswerThere are not states where an underage mother can be forced to relinquish her rights to her child in any manner. She cannot be forced to have an abortion, place the child for adoption or sign over her custodial rights. In some instances the court may intervene to the extent that the mother and child are under family services supervision for a period of time. The court WILL NOT take a child from the biological parent unless there is clear and indisputable proof that the child has suffered abuse or neglect. The young mother has the same legal rights to her child as does an adult, regardless of what her parents or anyone other than a court of law may prefer. The young lady might wish to contact Birthright 1-800-550-4900, http://www.birthright.org, or Planned Parenthood, 1-800-230-7526, http://www.plannedparenthood.org, for assistance in finding medical care, legal aid and any other help that may be needed. AnswerTHE LAWS in your state probably address this issue from a legal standpoint.However, I think the real issue is "forcing daughter to put child up for adoption". If need be, they both should see a good therapist. The mother needsto see the daughters viewpoint and wishes, HOWEVER the daughter needs to heed the advice of someone older and wiser, and knows the whole situation- finances;place to live; the level of responsibility of the girl; the whole family dynamic; etc... It may be the case that this the best choice/option for all involved. However, if the mother is just being arbitrary and controlling, then I think the daughter should explore her legal standing and rights. The BEST thing that could happen is for both the mother and daughter to work it out as a family because trying to "force" someone to make such an important decision isnot going to work out well for anyone involved.

Were can you get help for a sociopath child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== == And if you possibly can, find someone trained by Dr. Robert Hare of Canada; he has developed a specialized type of therapy that will help child psychopaths (sociopaths) veer off the destructive path and have the best life the illness allows!

See his BOOK, "Without Conscience," available at online bookshops, and you'll be able to understand much more.

Until a child has been tested and evaluated by a professional, do not place a label on a child. Perhaps he/she is NOT truly a psychopath - He/she may have other things going on. Let a learned, experienced and TRAINED professional decide! TAKE THE CHILD TO SEE A CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST OR CHILD PSYCHIATRIST. It may take several or many visits to properly diagnose a mental problem, disease or disorder. Your observations, comments and experiences with the child will certainly be of great value in the final diagnosis, of course. I have nothing to do with any sort of mental health occupation, but I know parents, teachers, family members and friends are NOT trained PROFESSIONALS, so WE can't decide! SHOP AROUND for someone you feel has enough experience with the age group you are targeting. If YOU feel comfortable talking with the person, and see he/she has the potential to "connect" with the child, then you have found the right person. If you feel at all uneasy, or feel no progress or feedback is happening, MOVE ON. FIND SOMEONE ELSE. Some are better than others. Go with your gut feeling...It will usually be RIGHT! Good luck!

NEW INFORMATION:

It is now known that it can be diagnosed in childhood, since the underlying brain dysfunction is present at birth.

It was up until very recently believed that children cannot be diagnosed as psychopaths; the newest research, recently published, says that it starts in the womb. The condition is inborn and, so far, incurable. But neuroscience will almost certainly be able to develop some way of compensating for and even partially correcting this terrible condition with the use of computer chips and other artificial implants in the brain, and as well a certain type of specialized inpatient therapy geared to awakening as much as is possible in the person as soon as the condition is diagnosed.

One of the problems with anything wrong with one's central nervous system is that if it's severe and pervasive enough, it can interfere with the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems as well. In psychopaths, such maladies as what was once called neurasthenia (a state of unnatural sedation) or epilepsy (seizure disorders) are far more frequent than in the general population. Many people who are not psychopaths have some of the more than 100 forms of peripheral neuropathy, but some of these may be more common in psychopaths.

The autonomic nervous system, which prepares the body for emergencies (fight-or-flight) is erratic and inefficient in a psychopath, which can, in some situations, lead to fatal accidents; human beings have adrenaline for a reason, and the sympathetic nervous system of a true psychopath is sluggish and cannot sustain arousal for long. (In Borderline Personality Disorder, the problem is the opposite: the sympathetic nervous system responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!)

Aside from this is the fact that a true psychopath has an extremely peculiar brainwave pattern: while awake, their brain waves most resemble a hybrid of normal waking brain waves and alpha-level sleep waves. And they often tend to sleep deeply.

Emotionally, they are cold, detached, distant, and yet deeply resentful of normal people. They know they're missing something, and often spend most of their typically short, tragic lives avenging themselves on others for what they cannot ever enjoy. So they are not truly emotionless, but they do not love, do not know true joy, and are hostile and destructive.

This ISN'T the work of the Devil; it's Nature gone horribly awry. ANYTHING THAT CAN DAMAGE THE DEVELOPING NERVOUS-SYSTEM IN A FETUS OR VERY YOUNG CHILD CAN CAUSE OR SEVERELY EXACERBATE THIS CONDITION.

THAT INCLUDES STREET DRUGS, ALCOHOL, and even SMOKING!!!

It also includes some medications; check with your obstetrician before taking anything at all during your pregnancy!

During delivery, using a forceps to grasp the baby's head should be avoided if at all possible. Any touching of the area over the FONTANEL (soft spot on top of the baby's head) must be done with caution until the fontanel has closed.

Any head injury that causes dizziness -- even without loss of consciousness -- should be treated as a medical emergency.

And another thing: NEVER SHAKE YOUR BABY!!! NO MATTER WHAT!

Is there an international passport?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually your passport depends on your citizenship. If you are a citizen of your country, lets say the USA then you have a US passport. You can also have a dual passport, depending on your citizenship again. You might be a naturalized citizen in one country and a citizen by birth in another.

Sometimes, people working for the United Nations or a related organization may have passports issued by the UN.

Can a parent disown an adopted child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Assuming "disown" means the parent wants to give up his or her obligation to a minor child, then it is sometimes possible.

The parent wanting to voluntarily give up parental rights can file a Termnation of Parental Rights petition in the probate court in the county and state where they live.

If "disown" means to leave the child out of one's will then of course it is possible. There aren't laws which force anyone upon their demise to leave assets or property to children or other persons.

The exception being property that automatically reverts to a surviving spouse under state marital law.

Can a minor adopt a child?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I can only fill you in on the requirements of my state (KY), but I'm sure they are similar in most states. First there are a couple of avenues you can go about adoption. You can work with your state agency, private agencies or overseas agencies.

I will warn you if you are wanting a baby your best bet is an overseas agency, however the price to do an adoption with most of them will be around $30,000.

If you are willing to adopt an older child state or private agency are available to help.

To become a state/private adoptive parent in Kentucky you must first go through 30 hours of pre-service training which teaches some parenting skills, the type of children available for adoption, the lives the children have lived before being removed from their homes, etc. During this training a homestudy and background check is completed to verify you are not a felon and that your home is a safe environment to raise a child. Then you are approved. At that time a child may be placed in your home.

The big difference between state and private is the cost. There is no cost to adopt through the state and you are often given a subsidy (monetary assistance) if you adopt a special needs child (this could be a teen, sibling group, minority or child with medical or behavioral issues). With the private this is a cost and little monetary assistance.

Most states also will require you to be 21, have a safe home, have a bedroom for the child, be able to pay for your household bills without assitance, and have good mental health. You can be married, single or have a life partner. You can be older. You do NOT have to own a home.

If your children have already been adopted can you still get them back?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If "taken away" means the the court permanently terminated parental rights or parental rights were voluntarily relinquished making the child eligible for adoption, then the answer is no; the biological parent(s) have no legal rights of any sort to the child. However, if the adoptive parents can voluntarily agree to the visitation of a biological parent without there being any action on the part of the court.

Can you adopt a child that has a legal guardian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you become a child's legal guardian in cases for example if the parents can't look after their child for any reason they have appointed you!

(1) if the child's parents have died and they have left in their will that you will be the child's legal guardian (you have to approve this ) you could also be the child's emergency guardian until the will is read out this can change if you have started for example you have started having health matters since the will has been drawn up then this could come into question the child's welfare is very important .

(2) when you want to adopt the child that's been in your care you will need to go throught the right channels what is considered is how you and the child get on are you giving the child the right upbringing remember the child's welfare always comes first you will stand a good chance seen as the child knows you and they will have come to love you like you were their own parent/s it would be very difficult to deny you from adopting any child that's legally in your care unless there are underlying issues in the household

i am not a judge in a court

you would be asked why you want to adopt the child and if for example if you don't already have children when you do have them how will that effect the child you want to adopt IE would you still love and care for this child as much as your own.

a judge isn't always easy going but these issues do arise

also if you are a single person and you suddenly meet a man/woman what affect would that have on the child would the child still come first? everything comes into question

i am not questioning your abilities as a parent or legal guardian but you would have to prepare yourself for some questions like this

hope this has answered your question

Yes - contact Centre Analytics. 888.420.7641.

There mostly do research for clients like the Department of Defense, but will take on special projects occasionally like this for a minimal fee. They put their Military strength resources to work and make this type of research/investigation seem like child's play. They generally do it for you while you wait on the phone if you have the basic data for the sibling or child.
