An adoption is where a child is "adopted" by another couple who is not their birth parents. This gives a child a nice home and a good future...
In an open adoption the birth parent(s) are allowed to visit and contact the child. The child may not know them as mom or dad but rather as aunt uncle or cousin. In a closed adoption the birth parents have no contact with the child what so ever. Also, in a closed adoption, the adoptive parents have the right not to tell the child they are adopted if that makes life easier. I was adopted in a closed adoption.
Yes, even prior to the birth of the child. In states like Kansas, the father has to beginning paying child support during the pregnancy in order to object to the child being placed up for adoption, upon birth.
As regards an abortion, none, but as regards adoption upon the birth of the child, in some states he must be providing financial help during the pregnancy in order to stop the adoption. As regards parental rights, whether he pays child support or not, none until court ordered.
On adoption, the Torah says that the child's status is determined by his birth parents and not adoptive parents.
There are many types of adoption including international and local. There is also Open and private adoptions. An Open adoption is when the biological parent(s) are allowed visitation with the child. A private adoption is like when a child is turned over into the chosen adopted family right after birth and the biological parent(s) have no contact with the child.
No, they cannot. But if you thought that they could, you should not have a child. Give it up for adoption.
If the parents are unable to care for the child accurately, adoption is a great alternative. Adoption allows the mother to carry out her pregnancy and also provides an opportunity for another family to receive a child of their dreams.
Jane Roe, the plaintiff in the abortion case "Roe v. Wade" actually gave birth to the child because it took a long time for the Supreme Court to reach a decision. The child was given up for adoption.
In the United States the rights of a birth mother to contact an adopted child are determined by state law. If an adoption agency handled the adoption, then the birth mother has no rights until the child is of legal age. After that, the adoption agency will usually help the birth mother find the adopted child.
If the adoption was finalized, then it will be an uphill battle for the birth mother. The more time which goes by after an adoption, the more trying it is for a child to just switch homes. Time and a finalized adoption must be on your side to win.
