There is no specific time after which parental rights are terminated in Louisiana. Often judges make the determination if the situation demands it.

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.

Is there a way to lose responsibility from your 17 year old child?

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.


If adoptive parents lied to an adult adoptee about the birth parents rights having been terminated to manipulate the adult into consenting to the adoption can this be grounds to overturn?

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.

Can a woman request that a man gives up rights without the father consent?

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.


How long does it take to sign over your parental rights?

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.
