I need to know how to know if our grandchild has either been adopted or if the child remains in fostercare in North Carolina? How can I research this? I realize that the adopted parents would not be named but atleast we would know they have been adopted or not! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
If your son has legally adopted the child, you would be considered the grandparent. If there has been no legal adoption, you have no familial claim to the child.
The courts may grant legal rights to a grandparent who has been caring for a grandchild for an extended period, especially if it can be demonstrated that such arrangements are in the child's best interest. Factors considered include the child's emotional needs, the stability of the grandparent's home, and the relationship between the grandparent and grandchild. However, the specific outcome can vary by jurisdiction and the individual circumstances of the case. Legal advice from a qualified attorney is recommended for navigating these rights.
Adoption severs all ties to natural inheritance.
Because people want kids, and can't have any, and have no problem loving a child not coming from their own bodies. Some have been adopted, or have been foster kids themselves, and feel very strongly about it.
go get an attorney and file for grandparents rights. If you have been a primary caretaker and have had a "substantial relationship" with the child, you qualify for visitation.
Since this is the adoption category I assume you mean not the biological grandchildren but foster kids who have never been adopted. And no, they have no right at all to anything their foster family leaves behind unless they are mentioned in the will. If you mean biological children they inherit their parents who in their turn inherit their parents, your grandparents. So unless the grandchild is mentioned in the will or the parents are deceased, the grandchild will not inherit the grandparents.
No, unless the child is adopted in some sort of fraudulent manner. Even then you have no claim on that child.
As of 2012, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption reported that over 4,000 children had been adopted through its initiatives. The foundation focuses on increasing the number of adoptions from foster care and raising awareness about the needs of waiting children. Its efforts aim to find permanent homes for children who might otherwise remain in the foster care system.
There are various types of adoption laws in Ohio depending on the family situation in question. They include stepparent and even grandparent laws. A new law has also been acted to allow adults who have been adopted to have more access to the information concerning their case.
Kids who had lost both parents were sent to other relatives or to foster parents - or adopted before being 'sent back'.
Yes he also has a daughter and a grandchild
Obtaining guardianship only requires a notarized letter. Full custody requires approval by the courts, which can be achieved easily by using a Certified Mediator to put together the agreement, than registering it with the court. Is there no separated parent to take the child? see link below
