You're this child's parents now. Yes your child might not want to live with you.... but handle this as if the child was your birth child and make a decision that you would stick to if the child hadn't been adopted.
You used the word child. And legally they are a child and the parents decide where they are to live.

Yes, its both parents obligation to support their child regardless of who the child lives with unless adopted.
In Florida, a "certificate of live birth" is the original certificate completed at the time of the child's birth. It is prepared by the hospital and includes the signatures of at least one of the parents and usually the physician or another witness to the birth. Once the "certificate of live birth" has been completed, it is sent to the Florida Office of Vital Statistics, who files the document and issues certified copies when requested. When ordering a Florida birth certificate, you can ask for a "photocopy certificate" - which is an exact photocopy of the original "certificate of live birth". They can only be ordered from the state office in Jacksonville, since that is where the actual certificate is stored. A "Certification of Birth" also known as a "computer copy" is a document issued by the Florida Office of Vital Statistics that only includes some of the information from the original "certificate of live birth". It usually states only the name, sex, date of birth, place of birth, parents' names, and the state file number. These types of birth certificates are cheaper and can be purchased from any Vital Statistics office in the state of Florida (and each county has one). Now for adopted persons, the policy is different. When the child is born, their birth certificate is completed like normal. However, once the child is adopted, the state of Florida creates a NEW "certificate of live birth" that shows the child's adoptive name and the names of the adoptive parents. The original "certificate of live birth" containing the names of the original parents is "sealed", meaning that it is locked up and can never be opened again without a court order. So, when an adopted person orders a birth certificate - whether it's a "photocopy" ("certificate of live birth") or "computer copy" ("certification of birth"), it will only show the adoptive name of the child and the names of the adoptive parents.
Adopted means that a child is accepted and legally made a part of a family that they were not born into. After the court hearing, the child is a part of the new family, legally, it is just like they were born into that family. It also means that legally, they are no longer a part of the family they were born into.When your adopted means that other people that are not your parents will become your parents. Like lets say some kid's parents die so they dont have anyone to live with so they go to foster care to get adopted so that other people will become your parents......yeah.......?
yes but papers and a court herring must be attended
"Real" parents are the parents who love and care for a child. So, adoptive parents are a child's real parents. If you are talking about returning to birth parents, this rarely happens. There are many processes in place to make sure that the best interests of the child are honored. This means a "forever family" that is formed by adoption. The parent-child bond is formed both emotionally and legally. Some families keep close ties between adoptive families and birth parents, and everyone can live happily with this arrangement if it is what is best for the child.
No, because they are no longer your legal grandson.....It is up to the parents who adopted the child to decide if they see you or not.

There are many different ways that a child who does not have a mother can be referred to, depending on their specific circumstances. Some options might include: Orphan: This term is generally used to refer to a child who has lost both of their parents and does not have any surviving relatives who are able to care for them. Single parent: This term is typically used to describe a person who is raising a child on their own, without the support of a partner. Foster child: This term is used to describe a child who is living with a foster family because they are unable to live with their birth parents. Adopted child: This term is used to describe a child who has been legally adopted by a parent or parents who are not their biological parents. It is important to be sensitive and respectful when referring to a child who does not have a mother. It is also important to remember that every child's situation is unique and that it is not appropriate to make assumptions about a child's circumstances based on their family structure.
Yes, when the family appeals in court the child gets the choice to say accept or deny this family.
