Best Answer

The stepmother would have been able to adopt the child only if the biological mother had voluntarily relinquished her parental rights or had them terminated by the court. Either action is permanent and cannot be reversed. The question is why is the minor child residing with the mother at this time without the permission of the court? If the court has granted permission (which is doubtful), the mother would also have been granted limited custodial rights. You need to file that the child was abandoned by the custodial parent with you for 3 years and that you wish for custody back. Be prepared to prove you are the best for the child. Nothing is permanent in child court.

What is the law in massachusetts for voluntarily giving up parental rights?

The state only allows the relinquishment of parental rights to allow the minor child to be adopted by a new spouse or a court sanctioned party. The state does not allow a parent(s) to be relieved of his or her (their) legal responsibilities to their minor child/children unless the court finds said parents to be unfit and in the best interest of the child. In other words, a parent cannot (in any US state) have relinquish their parentaly rights to avoid financial support of their biological or legally adopted minor child/children.
