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.

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.

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.

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.

There is one medication that has shown an 84% success rate - oral metoclopramide (reglan) typical dose is 10 mg three times daily; started when the surrogate host is about 28 weeks pregnant and discontinued 1 week before the expected date of delivery. In addition to drug therapy, you need to use an electric breast pump several times a day. Good Luck!

It depends on the agency, which I have just found out are many. I've seen some start at 750 per month. It also depends on the child's needs. They give you more if the child is older, have mental or physical issues.

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.

idk it might depend on what state your in but as long as they are legal immigrants i dont see why not

The legal age to care for a minor is 18 years old. However, not many 18 year olds would be likely to be approved for an adoption.

Chlidren that are in Haiti and children at an adoption center or a group/foster home.

Children of all races, ages and nationalities and some handicapped in different degrees.

Just to let you know i am adopted so i can help here. The best thing you can possibly do is to tell the person in question and then let them know that you love them and no matter what they are your child.

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.

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 :-)

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.

yes, even if you two arent married. However, if you guys break up, and only he has complete custody, then you will loose your children.

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..

Even adults can be legally adopted, if an older adult wants to adopt them. Some childless persons will adopt non-relatives they're fond of, to give themselves an heir or a family member.

Your parents have to give up their parental rights and hand you over to the state. Then you are up for adoption and while waiting you will be in foster care. There are over 100.000 children waiting for adoption. Everyone wants a baby and not a older child.

If you are being abused and that is the reason you wish to be adopted, tell an adult you trust or call the Child Protective Service where you live and they can help.

The sad truth is if a child is given up for adoption past the age of two they will most likely end up in foster care until they reach the age of eighteen, never truly knowing the meaning of family and home.

I think it can happen when you are 21 and you get a lawyer and relinquish any rights of inheritance (and some change the name). But for me it was sad. It can also happen that you find yourself rejected by the step-parent(s) after reaching adulthood. Even the rest of "the family" will have become distanced. This happens more frequently than one thinks. It does in no way imply that the individual that was previously adopted or reared by a different family was in any way disobedient. It just happens. The media seems to only bring to light the adoption stories with the fairytale endings.

• It depends on the personality of your husband. Some men may feel that a baby came along too soon in the marriage and may not know how to handle the situation. You need to sit down with your husband and ask what his problem is because you will refuse to remain in the marriage if he can't love his own child. Men generally don't know what to do with a baby so perhaps if you are bottle feeding the baby you could give him the baby and let him bottle feed. You should get him involved in holding the baby and helping you to change diapers, etc. Sometimes first time moms are so wrapped up in their baby that they forget the husband and some husbands can be jealous and the drastic change of having a baby in the house is difficult for the husband to handle. Get a babysitter at least twice a month and you and your husband go out for dinner and a movie. If money is an issue for babysitting then trade off babysitting with a girlfriend. Some women also have decreased hormonal changes where they are not ready for a sexual relationship after having their baby and she should see her doctor about this problem and then explain it to her husband as he may feel completely left out and confused.
