Does a child that has been adopted retain legal right to inherit from biological grandparents?

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.

Im pregnant and not ready to have a baby?

First of all, breathe. Give yourself a moment or longer to calm yourself down so you can think rationally about the various options you have. It isn't necessarily about having options but the reality of the fact that most people aren't ready to have children when they do become pregnant. Anyone who thinks they are 100% ready is obviously a first time parent. You made a choice to have sex and pregnancy is one possibly consequence. You can either view this event as an unexpected gift or as a tragedy for your good life. You have many choices: seek guidance from a counselor, pastor, mature friend (not all friends are wise); talk to your dr or go to a free clinic if you do not have insurance and they can help you understand the body changes; get advice from a trusted person as to how you can keep the baby and care for it should you keep it; consider caring for the baby and giving it to a loving couple who can give it a better life; or even abortion (which I hope is your last option).

How do you terminate a father's parental rights in the state of Illinois?

What are the rights of adopted children in Islam?

Followers of Islam are subject to the secular laws, so nothing that imams might say can override a child's rights under law. In Western countries, a child of any age is entitled to seek help from police or other appropriate agencies if his or her rights are being abused. It is only in those few countries that enforce shariah law that secular rights are not paramount.

How long does the adoption process take?

Adopting a child is, unfortunately, a long, expensive and complicated process. I have been told by parents wanting to adopt that the application process alone can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on who you adopt from and where the child comes from.

Name a reason a child might want to sleep with their parents?

Children often sleep with their parents because they are scared of the dark, monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet, they saw a bug in their room, or just because they're lonely. The average child stops this around age 6, but if it continues, don't worry. They will eventually grow out of it. But if you get worried, take them to mental therapy.

Is it possible to null an adoption in NZ?

If there is a procedural mistake, an illegal act or other flaw in the process a court may decide to nullify an adoption. The court would probably consider the best interests of the child and may condone a flawed process if the interests of the child demanded it.

Other than that, no. The adopted child, the biological parents and the adoptive parents cannot nullify an adoption. Adoption is for life.

Can a fourteen year old teen choose which parent they want to live with in the state of Tennessee?

Only Texas has that law, but with significant restrictions. In all other states, it's a case by case basis, with the Judge interpreting the maturity of the child, and their intent, but this still does not override other evidence in the child's best interest. It's just a piece of the evidence.

How do i adopt my wife's child?

Adoption by step-parents is the most common type of adoption in the United States and the procedure is virtually the same as it would be for other types of adoption. The process is relatively easy in those cases in which the biological parent consents or has abandoned his parental duties. If the biological parent refuses to consent to the step-parent adoption it is still possible for the step-parent to successfully adopt the step-child. However, a lawsuit will have to be brought against the biological parent. This lawsuit will aim to terminate his or her biological rights.

Below is a general outline of the steps in the adoption process

* Filing of a petition: The parties wishing to adopt must file a petition with the court asking the court to approve their desire to adopt a particular child. * Notice period: After the petition is filed, anyone with a vested interest in the child well being (e.g., a parent, guardian, legal representative, adoption agency, or in most states the child herself if over 12 years old) must receive notice of the petition. Exact notice requirements vary by state. * Adoption hearing: During the hearing, the judge determines if the adoption is in the child:s best interest. If satisfied, the judge will then issue an final decree of adoption.

Can a aunt adopt their newborn nephew?

Yes, they can. Anyone can adopt a child if they have no place to live and are currently enrolled in a school. Is the child a US citizen? If not,regular INS procedures will have to be followed to establish his residency status. Simply because he is a child does not guarantee he will be allowed to stay in the US even though he has a relative who is a citizen. If he is a citizen the aunt can initiate adoption procedures with the permission of the mother. It would be best to consult an attorney who specializes in immigration law.

How do you know what child to adopt?

Answer by Katie,

I don't think that it is a matter of just the cute one. I think that it is a matter of the feeling that you get. When you see a child you should feel like you are home. You should feel like it is magic and you were ment to have that one baby. It is like meeting someone. You can tell right away if you like them or dislike them. This is how it is. Wait and find the child that gives you the feeling like you dont have to look anymore. Find the child who make you want to give all of your love to them. Once you feel this you will know they are your child.

The cute one :-)

How can parents rights be terminated?

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.

If a minor gets pregnant can their parents decide if they keep it or not?

Yes. A minor is assumed to retain the same legal rights to her child as does the adult woman. She cannot be forced to obtain an abortion, place the child for adoption or relinquish her rights to the child unless a court rules otherwise. In a few US states the parents of a minor can petition the court for the right to intervene. They cannot, however, take any action in regards to the pregnancy without the permission of the court. If the minor is being pressured into making a decision she is uncertain of, she should contact the state's department of children and family services (DHS, DFS) for assistance, or..
