How long does an adoption process take?
The adoption process is a very complicated system. It all depends on where you are, where you're adopting from, what agency you're using, the current situation of the potential child, and how long all the paper work takes. If I could just offer you a piece of advise.... No matter how long it takes for the adoption to become final, just remember it will be worth it in the end when you can finally call that child your own!

What is a permanency evaluation?
A permanency evaluation is a formal assessment process used in child welfare to determine the best long-term plan for a child in foster care. It typically involves gathering information about the child's current situation, assessing the child's needs, and making recommendations for permanency options such as reunification with family, adoption, or guardianship. The goal is to establish a stable and secure living arrangement for the child.
Adoption Agencies?
Adoption agencies can be a pregnant womans best friend in her time of uncertainty. Adoption agencies can provide shelter, counseling and moral support for the duration of the pregnancy as well as long after the adoption proceedings. Adoption is a hard choice to make when you don’t have the support that you need. Adoption agencies have portfolios of couples that are longing to adopt as well as portfolios of the birthmothers that are in search of families to raise their children. Adoption agencies will assess the birthmother to find out what her wishes are in a family as far as things like religion, beliefs, financial status, careers and many more. They will also perform extensive background checks on the prospective families to ensure that there are no felonies. The adoption process can be tedious and emotional. That is where the counseling comes in for both the prospective parents and the birthmother. There are several choices that the adoption agency will provide for the adoption options. There is the open adoption; an adoption where both parties agree to have contact whether it is via mail, phone or in person. This type of adoption is typically agreed upon by both sides as to how much or how little contact is given. The second option is the semi-open adoption. This adoption is contact through via mail only. This contact is only one to two times per year and once again it is up to both parties discretion. The third option is the closed adoption. This option is completely closed and all records are permanently sealed. The child has no way to contact the birthmother and the birthmother has no knowledge of who has her child or where the child is located. There is a lot to think about when considering adoption. Adoption agencies can help in every aspect of the adoption process. This is a forever, life changing experience and with the help of adoption agencies, it can be made easier to cope with.

How do you reverse an adoption in Arkansas?
I am sorry that you are going through this stressful time right now in your life. Let me tell you what I would do. I would pray about this and it seems that you have. Then I would go to the adoption agency where I adopted the child and see if they can help me reverse the adoption. Or I would call a lawyer to help me out. If you are the parent that gave the child up for adoption and you want your child back, I would call a lawyer. I wish you all the luck in the world. Good luck and God Bless:)
What is a maternal grandmother who is deceased prior to the birth of grandchildren called?
A grandmother is a grandmother, whether she died before the grandchild was born or years after. If she died long before the grandchild was born, she may not know when she became a grandmother, but that is another matter. The English language does not have a word or phrase for a grandparent who died before the grandchild was born. If you absolutely require a phrase, the proper description would be "deceased grandmother" or "dead grandmother."
