There is no specific time after which parental rights are terminated in Louisiana. Often judges make the determination if the situation demands it.
It is possible to regain custody after rights have been terminated. However, this includes a very long court battle and is not usually beneficial to the child who has been living with his or her adoptive parents.
The issue isn't how long they've been in custody. Once the parental rights have been terminated (TPR - termination of parental rights), the child is eligible for adoption. If the children have not been TPR'd then they are not eligible for adoption.
There are not any currently. You can adopt a stepchild of any age as long as the parental rights are no longer there.
There is no hard and fast rule. The Court must determine that it is in the best interest of the child that parental rights be terminated. Contact with the child is considered, but many other issues are also considered.
Yes. Your parental rights can be terminated if the child is removed from your care and you fail to show that you are making progress toward being a proper parent. However, the process is long, and the state is unlikely to start it with a child who is 17 and thus probably won't be adopted. A voluntary adoption would involve voluntary termination of parental rights.
Yes it can be overturned as long as you have proof that the birth parents was manipulated into giving the child up for adoption through falsified information about the parents rights being terminated. It would be a long process, but as long as you have proof shouldn't be difficult. It's strange for the birth parents to be tricked into signing over parental rights because they have to sign an affidavit that pretty much focuses on the rights that you're signing over. So if they signed the paperwork there may be something in their that states that their rights were already terminated (which given the situation would be false) so that in itself should make it null and void. Hope that helps.
No. A grandfather has no parental rights and has no right to do anything without the consent of the mother as long as she has custody of the child and he doesn't.No. A grandfather has no parental rights and has no right to do anything without the consent of the mother as long as she has custody of the child and he doesn't.No. A grandfather has no parental rights and has no right to do anything without the consent of the mother as long as she has custody of the child and he doesn't.No. A grandfather has no parental rights and has no right to do anything without the consent of the mother as long as she has custody of the child and he doesn't.
It can be plus minus 20 years depending on where you live. Once released you are also a convicted sex offender so your parental rights will likely be terminated.
That would all depend upon what state you are in, what are the circumstances surrounding the adoption. Has the parental rights of natural parents been terminated? In Oklahoma if the child is under the age of 18, a natural parent has to be notified of adoption proceedings.

Yes, if he has not been in touch with the child for a long time (varies between states) they can be terminated due to abandonment. Abuse can be another reason. The court will decide but this is not a easy task since they take terminating parental rights very seriously. Once they are gone you do not get them back.
It depends on which state you are in and under what circumstances you are signing your parental over for. In some states, you cannot sign over your parental rights unless the other parent is remarried and the step-parent is willing to adopt the child.
