I assume the child has some kind of problem or they would be emancipated at 18 like everyone else. If this has been a problem all their life like Down's Syndrome, it should not take long, depends on how busy the court is. If the child however has no problem you will have to prove in court why you should be his/hers guardian past 18 and that will take longer. Very likely will the child also fight you on that one.

Does a child with deceased parents have to go into state custody?
Not necessarily, a family member or relative, friend, neighbor, parent of a friend, etc., can petition for guardianship. A child becomes a ward of the state when there is no other responsible adult willing or able to take permanent custody of the child.Not necessarily, a family member or relative, friend, neighbor, parent of a friend, etc., can petition for guardianship.

Can you take your own child from child services if you are the only one that has legal guardianship over the child?
It sounds as if child protective services has guardianship and, if so, you can't simply take your child back from them.
Can a parent get guardianship over a 18 year old?
Typically, parents cannot get legal guardianship over an 18-year-old as they are considered adults under the law. In certain circumstances, such as if the individual has a disability or is unable to care for themselves, a court may appoint a guardian. However, the process and criteria vary depending on the situation and jurisdiction.
Would you get child support if you took custody of your neighbor's 15-year-old daughter?
The adult with whom the minor resides must petition the court for guardianship of the child. A parent cannot legally "give" their child to a neighbor nor the neighbor legally take the child, an exception might be due an emergency or for a matter of a few days with the parent's consent. The person seeking guardianship can also request child support, medical coverage and so forth. It will be up to the judge to decide if guardianship should be granted, if the child must remain in the home, or if the child is to be remanded into state custody.
If both parents sign over temporary custody to a grandparent can the parent who has physical custody terminate the guardianship and take the child back?
It depends on the State the parent and child reside in, the State the temporary legal guardianship was signed in, and weather or not a judge was involved. Usually a temporary guardianship is revocable by either of the natural parents, either by having a revocation notarized or by simply writing on their copy of the temporary guardianship form that such guardianship is being revoked with a signature and date of revocation. This is then presented to the temporary guardian and the child is turned straight over to the natural parent who now wishes guardianship returned to them. The temporary guardian can fight the issue and get the courts involved, but the vast majority of time things go the parents way in these regards. Again, it all goes back to circumstance and especially the State where this is all taking place. I would suggest googling "temporary guardianship rights", or see if you can look up the specific legal codes on guardianship in your state.
Can a biological parent adopt their own child?
The answer depends on the details. It depends on the reason for the guardianship. If the child was removed from the parent's custody and placed with a guardian the parent may or may not be able to regain custody. If the parent's parental rights were terminated they cannot get legal custody of the child back. If the parent consented to a temporary guardianship and the parent is now better able to care for the child the guardianship can be terminated and custody restored to the parent. It would not be necessary for the parent to adopt the child.
Is it okay for a parent to stay home and take care of a child while the other parent is out working a job?

Can a parent take a child that she has not been taking care of since birth from a person who has been taking care of the child since birth?
You haven't mentioned whether there is any existing custody order. If the person who has been taking care of the child never bothered to formalize their authority and there is no legal guardianship then the mother can take the child.You haven't mentioned whether there is any existing custody order.

When can a child care worker refuse to allow parent take child?
Presumably, the custodial parent is the parent who has arranged for the child care and is the person who normally delivers the child and picks the child up after work. The child care worker can refuse to allow a parent to take a child if the custodial parent has provided a copy of a court order showing that the custodial parent has legal and physical custody. No unauthorized person should be allowed to take a child from day care.
Does a child have rights to a parent that gave up rights to said child?
What kind of rights do you mean? Sometimes parental rights are severed but the child may fare poorly in the adoption process and still long for contact with the natural parent. Lot's of these kids do reunite with parents whose rights have been severed. A child has a right to seek information and contact with the natural parent if they so desire. Some states have procedures. Arizona does.AnswerYou cannot force someone to love you, or even to see you. If you were given up for adoption by a parent, you can seek out that person and make contact with them, but if that parent is unwilling to meet with you or pursue a relationship with you, you cannot legally force them to. The point is YES the child has rights. She has the right at the legal age of the state she is in, usually 16-18, make contact with her birth parent. Depending on the trail the birth parent has left to follow (address, phone number, name changes etc) it may require a lot of work to track the parent down. A parent who does not want to be found will make an effort to conceal their whereabouts, get an unlisted number or asked for the record to be sealed.
