This allows the adoption center to make sure that the adoptive parents are capable of caring for a child. That way a child isn't put in harms way.
This happens differently in different versions. In the older stories- both of his adoptive parents pass away before he sets out to be on his own. Then it started being where his adoptive father passed away and his adoptive mother would be around for a few more years. Now it usually is where both of his adoptive parents are still around to the present while he is Superman.
Foster care and adoption is not the same thing. Yes, you get to meet your adoptive parents before they adopt you. That is not always the case with foster care since if a child is abused for instance the foster families are ready to receive you in the middle of the night sometimes, when it's needed. Foster care is not meant to be permanent like adoption.
No. Officially Olympics athletes are not allowed to take steroids or other performance enhancing drugs which would result in being disqualified if discovered. Athletes are screened multiple times before and during the Olympics to keep everyone on a level playing field.
This is called an open adoption. It allows the biological parents to select the adoptive parents and to be involved in their child's life after the adoption. The level of openness is agreed on before the adoption is completed. Sometimes it is letters, pictures, phone calls, and even visits.
A married couple or an unmarried adult are generally eligible to adopt a child in the United States. Stepparents can also be granted the right to adopt a birth child or children of a spouse. Specific laws might vary slightly in each state, so a person seeking to adopt should review the law in his or her state before beginning the process. Additionally, an adoption can be handled through an adoption agency or independently without agency involvement. The desired contact between the birth parent(s) and adoptive parent(s) determines if the adoption is closed or open.In a closed adoption, most adoptive parents do not know the birth parents or where the child was born. The files in the case are physically sealed and the child will not know the identity of his or her birth parents. Open adoptions are the opposite, where the adoptive and birth parents meet and maintain some degree of contact. An open adoption gives most birth parents a voice in selecting the adoptive parents for a child.The Adoption ProcessProspective parents are required to participate in a home study process before an adoption is granted. There are three primary purposes to this process. The adoptive family receives information to educate and prepare them for the adoption. The social worker can use this time to gather specific information about the prospective parents to help in making the best match. The social worker can also determine the emotional, behavioral and financial fitness of the parents to care for a child.Some prospective parents experience anxiety during this process, fearing they will not be approved. However, agencies are not looking for perfect parents, but rather are looking for parents who are capable of accepting the realities of parenting.Once the home process is completed successfully and a child is located, the adoptive parents will petition the court for approval. This may require an adoption hearing before the adoption is finalized. The birth parents have already relinquished parental rights and duties for the child.A consent notice is sent to the birth parents, the adoption agency and the legal representative for the child prior to the hearing date. The judge will issue an order that approves and finalizes the adoption. This order legalizes the adoption, granting a new parent-child relationship between the adoptive parents and the child. An official name change for the child by the new parents can also be requested.
The best way to start would be by asking your adoptive parents if they know the names of your birth parents. If they don't, then ask them if they will help you find them. But before you begin this discussion with them, you have to know they may be upset by it, and may not want to talk about it. But this is a natural reaction with adoptive parents; they may feel you would only be hurt by trying to contact your birth parents. If you're of legal age, then you can try searching for them on your own, without permission from your adoptive parents. There are many sites for finding people, but unless you know their names, that won't help you any. But many adoption agencies keep a record on file with the adoptive parents signed consent for the child to contact them when s/he is older. So if you can at least find the name of the adoption agency, or the name of the attorney who handled your adoption, they would be a good place to start.
Yes. It is illegal to falsify information on a legal document. The information you provide on the birth certificate must be accurate. An original birth certificate is issued before an adoption and it shows the identity of the biological parents. That record is sealed until opened by a court order. An amended birth certificate is then issued with the names of the adoptive parents and that becomes the child's official birth record in the public records.

You could be asked to pay for any expenses the mother had after birth but before the adoption. Once adopted the adoptive parents pay for their child.
