Often the court prefers the child to be left with the mother (if she is fit to look after the child) and often there is joint custody between mother and father of that child. However when a parent is terminated from seeing their child or both parents here are some reasons: * The child is in a poor environment. The home is not up to standards (could be the family is poor and the home is not up to par according to Child Aid.) * Both parents are at work and don't have anyone there to look after the child or when the child gets home from school. * If one or both parents do street drugs. * If one or both parents party or are alcoholics. * Both parents argue too often (yelling and screaming.) * Both parents are abusive to each other either physically or mentally. This can make the child become depressed and do poorly in school if they are of age to go to school. * If there is abuse towards the child by one or both parents. * If both parents don't want the child they can seek legal counsel and either have the grandparents, another relative or put the child in foster care and sign their rights away. * If the child does not get medical help when needed. * If the child shows signs of malnutition. * If a neighbor has complained to Child Aid. If you are innocent then fight it in a court of law. Some people mean well, but sometimes they can misunderstand how a child may look (dress wise) or if the child is small in stature the neighbor may feel that the child is not fed well.
No as that would be considered child abandonment.
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
If there is abuse you would have to report them to child services to get their rights terminated.
if they terminated their rights, they're probably out of luck
Properly, no. But, there are exceptions, though they usually apply to both parents losing parental rights.
In most adoptions, the rights/responsibilities of the biological parents are terminated.
It is possible to regain custody after rights have been terminated. However, this includes a very long court battle and is not usually beneficial to the child who has been living with his or her adoptive parents.

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.
Terminating parents rights does not mean they don't have to pay for their child. If you as the grandmother is the legal guardian and have custody you have to go to court to petition for child support. If you don't have legal custody you have to get it first.
