Yes they can, but it is strictly voluntary.
No, that is no longer an option unless the grandparents (now parents) give permission. In order for the grandparents to adopt, the father's rights had to have been given up.
If the child was adopted the grand parents have no rights. It would be up to the adoptive parents whether any relationship could be maintained.
No. Grandparents don't have rights, only what the parents allow them to. If living in a state where grandparents have the right to petition for visitation, there is also no contact allowed if the child is adopted away. All ties are cut with the previous family.
The grandparents can get access towards there grandchildren by the mother and father dies and they get them. Or the grandparents file for custody of the children
The rights of the natural father depends on if the father has given up his rights or not. If he has not given up his rights, he has the same rights as the mother, or as outlines in the custody order.
As an illegal, he probably does not have access to the legal system. The grandparents should probably determine if the father is a fit parent and, if so, do the right thing.
Generally, no.
She can terminate her parental rights, not yours.
Yeah, they have several of the same rights.
Need more info in order to to answer. Taken by who? For what reason? Where is the father in all this? In what part, if any, do the PATERNAL grandparents enter into this? In most states, grandparent's rights are based through the parent's rights. If a parent's rights are terminated, then the grandparent's rights are also lost. Sad, but true.
They can, but only if the biological father and both sets of grandparents (if alive) dont argue it. The biological father has rights over the children, the stepparents DO NOT unless the children have been legally adopted. It gets even trickier depending on the state and county and if there is a custody agreement.
Probably not. In most places, unless your natural father has lost or given up his rights and the step father actually adopted you, he has no parental rights (he was merely your mother's husband.)
