I need to know how to know if our grandchild has either been adopted or if the child remains in fostercare in North Carolina? How can I research this? I realize that the adopted parents would not be named but atleast we would know they have been adopted or not! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
If your son has legally adopted the child, you would be considered the grandparent. If there has been no legal adoption, you have no familial claim to the child.
Adoption severs all ties to natural inheritance.
Because people want kids, and can't have any, and have no problem loving a child not coming from their own bodies. Some have been adopted, or have been foster kids themselves, and feel very strongly about it.
go get an attorney and file for grandparents rights. If you have been a primary caretaker and have had a "substantial relationship" with the child, you qualify for visitation.
No, unless the child is adopted in some sort of fraudulent manner. Even then you have no claim on that child.
Since this is the adoption category I assume you mean not the biological grandchildren but foster kids who have never been adopted. And no, they have no right at all to anything their foster family leaves behind unless they are mentioned in the will. If you mean biological children they inherit their parents who in their turn inherit their parents, your grandparents. So unless the grandchild is mentioned in the will or the parents are deceased, the grandchild will not inherit the grandparents.
There are various types of adoption laws in Ohio depending on the family situation in question. They include stepparent and even grandparent laws. A new law has also been acted to allow adults who have been adopted to have more access to the information concerning their case.
Kids who had lost both parents were sent to other relatives or to foster parents - or adopted before being 'sent back'.
All of Dr. Pol's children are adopted. Their daughter Kathy and their son Charles from birth and their daughter Diane at the age of 18, after having been their foster child for ten years.
