Yes. It's called "disruption" and it does happen. Sometimes a child comes home with problems so severe that they cannot be handled by the new family; in such cases, the parents can seek to disrupt the adoption. People are frequently horrified at such a thought, because we think that love conquers all. However, in families created by adoption - just as in families created by birth - there can be situations where it is not safe for a child to remain with their family. We all believe we'd never give up on a kid, but we have to realize that disrupting an adoption does NOT mean you gave up. It means you made the best decision you could for your entire family, INCLUDING the child.
I am an adoptee, and an adoptive parent, and I know both families who have had to disrupt as well as families who adopted children who had previously been "disrupted." The idea is to do what in the kid's best interest.
For example, I have a five year old. If I adopted a 14 year old and that child began beating my 5 year old, sexually molesting him, burning down the house, etc., I might decide that I could not provide a safe home for that 14 year old. Disruptions are uncommon, and come from nightmare scenarios - we're not talking about adopting an infant and then deciding he's too ugly, or not smart enough. We are talking about families who are caught off guard by the severity of the child's problems (e.g. if the problems were not known at the time of adoption, and only surfaced later) and who decide - after MUCH struggle, tears, and misery - that disruption is the only choice for the child.
I cannot imagine losing my beautiful son, no matter what. But I have seen enough to know that it does happen in some families, and that anyone who has not been there cannot judge.
No, legally they are both the parents.
On adoption, the Torah says that the child's status is determined by his birth parents and not adoptive parents.
The only way that parental rights will be terminated is if both parents and the family court agree that it is in the best interest of the child to terminate them. Simply wishing to stop being responsible for child support typically is not sufficient reason to terminate because it leaves the child in the position of not being cared for financially. Adoptive parents become natural parents with all the rights and responsibilities that entails the moment the adoption papers are finalized.
Part of the adoption process involves the termination of rights of the biological parents. When the adoption is finalized, the adoptive parents assume the rights and responsibilities of the biological parents.
Legal and lawful adoption is a process that ends in the final and irrevocable transference of all rights and responsibilities for a child from the biological parents to the adoptive parents. Open adoption is an agreement between adoptive parents and biological parents that addresses continuing contact between biological parents and the adopted child. This can take many forms, from regular letters to frequent visits. Open adoption does not alter the legality of the adoption, the finality and irrevocability, in any way.
Private placement in an adoption process refers to the adoption of a child where the birth parents have chosen the adoptive parents directly, without the involvement of an adoption agency or intermediary. It is an arrangement that allows for a more direct and personal connection between the birth parents and adoptive parents, with legal procedures typically facilitated by an attorney or adoption professional. Private placement adoptions often require the parties involved to navigate legal requirements and regulations independently.
Contact a local adoption agency. They can arrange prospective adoptive parents and meeting to discuss the options you have regarding the idea.
This is called an open adoption. It allows the biological parents to select the adoptive parents and to be involved in their child's life after the adoption. The level of openness is agreed on before the adoption is completed. Sometimes it is letters, pictures, phone calls, and even visits.
The only thing they have in common is that you are not raising your child. As for the adoption procedure it is the same. And as soon as the adoption is legal and through the adoptive parents can close it if they want to.
A character reference is an important part of the adoption process. A character reference letter should state the qualities of the parents and why they would be great adoptive parents.
The adoption would need to be reversed.
It's the adoption process in which both the birth parent(s) and the adoptive parents are made known to each other. http://www.openadoption.com
