I would get a family lawyer and ask them about it...
His parents had not died because they did not mention anything about his parents or any information that involve his parents
Depends what state your in. Texas they can't do anything about it.
In many cases when adoption papers haven't been signed this is a good indication that either someone in the family was pregnant with you and for reasons of their own could't look after you, so your adoptive parents took over. Even a friend of one of your adoptive parents. Most adoptions that are legal are in the records of that adoption agency and the papers are for protection purposes so that child can never be taken away from the adoptive parents. Please sit down with your parents and tell them you are old enough for the truth. Assure them you still love them, but you feel a large void in your life and you need to know who your real parents are so you can get on with your life. I doubt they will refuse, but if they do, you can either try to find out the adoption agency, or if this is too hard hire a detective to find out who your parents were. Good luck Marcy
I think it would be wonderful to adopt because there are so many children out there that don't have parents, and you'd be giving them one.
To some extent, this question requires knowing the law of the state of adoption. Chances are, there will be problems getting the documentation and consents needed for adoption, unless one of the adopting parents is one of the biological parents. The more interesting issue is whether the adopted child can be an American citizen merely by adoption, and the answer to that appears to be no. Consult an experienced immigration lawyer, preferably with adoption experience.

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.
On adoption, the Torah says that the child's status is determined by his birth parents and not adoptive parents.
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.
If your parents are not your biological parents and have adopted you and made themselves your legal guardians then they would have to have adoption papers or it wouldn't be legal.
Sigh... Depends on how your parents are. For me, everything. I hate my parents.
Parents almost always love their children and regret having to give them up for adoption.
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.
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.
An open and closed infant adoption varies greatly. An open infant adoption allows the genetic parents to still have the right to see their child. A closed infant adoption prevents the genetic parents from seeing their child.
Because unwanted kids get to be loved, looked after and cared for. As long as this happens, then the fact that the parents are gay shouldn't matter at all.
The benefits of foreign adoption vs domestic adoption is that it is a quicker process as you're broadening your search. In addition, it'll likely be a closed adoption, with no contact with the biological parents.
A Love Beyond Borders is a good international adoption agency that allows single parents to adopt.
