Adoption

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.
  

There are more than 100 000 children up for adoption and in foster care so there really is no need for more. There is a lack of adoptive parents, not children. We need more wanting older children and not just babies. So as many as possible would be the answer.

This would be a step-parent adoption, a fairly routine process, listed in the Texas civil code as:

"§ 162.001. WHO MAY ADOPT AND BE ADOPTED. (a) Subject

to the requirements for standing to sue in Chapter 102, an adult may

petition to adopt a child who may be adopted.

(b) A child residing in this state may be adopted if:

(2) the parent whose rights have not been terminated

is presently the spouse of the petitioner and the proceeding is for

a stepparent adoption;"

Many law firms handle this, and if the natural father contests the adoption, you will want legal help. Otherwise, you may be able to file the petition yourself at your local court house to get the process started. Contact a court to see if they have a "do it yourself" package of forms to use, many states do.

A legally adopted child is considered the parent's child just as much as if they had given birth to that child. So being adopted does not affect the rights or the heirship of the deceased parent's house and assets, even if they have biological children, as well.

What does matter, is the state's laws regarding heirships with or without a will. You need to consult an attorney if there is no will to see what your rights are.

It is basically an adoption that would not have taken place if the adoptive parents had knowledge of specific information. It could include a variety of reasons, for example the physical condition of the child.

edited to add: I believe there could be alot more involved in a "wrongful adoption." uninformed consent by the first parent. no consent from the first parent. an adoption that happened that didn't need to, where the parent "could have parented" with a little encouragement and chance to do so. A wrongful adoption can be one that shouldn't have taken place for a variety of reasons such as the ones above.

Edited to add: Wrongful adoption as a legal term is not the same as "wrongful adoption" as an opinion. To read more on the legal definition, see the New York State Citizen's Coalition for Children.

Edited to add: The first legal case of "wrongful adoption" was in 1986 when the "Burrs" sued the adoption agency of the boy they adopted in 1964. He had psychological problems and they challenged the courts to have his records unsealed for his file to find out the adoption agency lied to the them about the age and mental conditions of his parents who surrendered him to adoption.

Because they were misinformed of the conditions of his origins and surrendering parents they ended up winning $125000.

There are TONS of cases in our history now where adoptive parents have sued agencies and states for what may legally be called a wrongful adoption, but to this adoptee, feels like "returned faulty product."

The states continues to assure us that children are not commodities, however, returns from mislabeled children, prices varying depending on age and race one has to stop and wonder what HAS this world come to?

750000 teens become pregnant each year in the US and 1% put their babies up for adoption. About 234000 has an abortion and the majority keeps them.

The good reasons are if they are taking drugs, alcohol or are sexually abusive to the children.

Yes/No Situation.

It's something an individual will want to know, to complete them. Without knowing, there will be an empty hole - a missing piece to the puzzle of you.

On the other hand, your birth parents didnt want you, they left you. Does that not hurt? Why would you want to find them and interfere with your happy life?

Idk. But I wanna find out! I am really getting annoyed. I've looked at every single adopt a sibling program that i could find. If you find out how, email me at TwinSis14@yahoo.com. Please. I need to know.

You need to do an adoption process in your state. That will involve the bio logical parents permission. If they refuse, then the court will have to decide. Either way you are requesting the court to terminate all parental rights.

In the United States the rights of a birth mother to contact an adopted child are determined by state law. If an adoption agency handled the adoption, then the birth mother has no rights until the child is of legal age. After that, the adoption agency will usually help the birth mother find the adopted child.

It is legal depending on what state you reside in. For example in Oregon the law states:ORS 471.410(2) Furnishing alcohol to a minorNo person shall sell, give or make alcohol available to a minor. A parent or legal guardian may provide alcoholto their minor child in a private residence as long as the parent is with the minor child. If you illegally providealcohol to a minor, or provide alcohol to an adult that you know will make it available to a minor, you willreceive a criminal citation.As it explains above as long as you are with them and they stay at home it is perfectly legal. You just cant give alcohol to someone elses child.

In Connecticut, the law was amended in 2006; prior to that, a parent could serve _any_ minor child an alcoholic beverage in public. As the law is now (2011), a parent may only serve _their_own_ minor child while on private property, or for religious purposes.

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.

Augustus had four adopted sons. they were his three grandsons, Gaius, Lucius and Agrippa Postumus and Livia's son, Tiberius.

In the US, most attorneys have an undergraduate degree and a JD (Juris Doctor). The undergraduate degree can be in about anything, but business (for those interested in the business area), political science (if you're interested in politics), or English (the writing skills are very important) are very common. After the undergraduate degree, law school (to earn a JD) takes three years. Then all you have to do is pass the bar!

A previous responder indicated a LLD (Doctor of Law) was necessary, but the LLD is actually an honorary degree which cannot be used to sit for the bar exam in any state.
