Adoption

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.

You can read all about them in the link below.

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

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.

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?

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.

Try to make the most of your life that you can. There are plenty of people who were orphaned for one reason or another and with a positive attitude and determination they have grown up to be very successful people. There are many people who have had parents that no nothing with their lives so it really doesn't matter so much that you do not have parents. Colleges have scholarships and grants that will possibly pay your entire way through college. Each individuals life is valuable and so is yours. We all have so much to offer in our lives and to make the best of each and every day of our lives. Surround yourself with positive people whether it be through a school, a church, community activities, a job, etc. It can sometimes be tough to surround yourself with positive people because there are so many negative people out there but keep trying because you will find them eventually. Do not let the nasty or negative people bring you down. There are people out there that LOVE to bring other people down and put them down simply because they dont' feel good about themselves. Read and learn everything you can, be a strong person, do the best you can every day, live right and don't do others wrong, and you will be great!

No. The adoption process is only applied for someone 18 or older to adopt a minor (and rarely an adult, who must be a US legal resident/citizen).

What you may be thinking about is "family re-unification", a part of the 1965 immigration law that allows a citizen's family to apply for visas to be reunified in the US. However, the citizen must be 18 or older in order to start a family re-unification process. That is, the citizen child has no legal avenue to remove his or her parents' illegal status.


This is a common misunderstood concept that leads children of illegal parents to be misnamed "anchor babies", even though they have little actual ability to help their parents gain legal status. If the illegal parents are caught and deported, the only choices for the children are to join their parents in their country or origin, or stay in the US under foster care services without their parents. See the Elvira Arellano case where the illegal parent was deported and force to take her son, a US citizen, with her or leave him to foster care.

They could, but they are violating state law and could be arrested for rape.

Hold on! Yes you can sleep in the same bed but if you are referring to sex, absolutely not. That would be incest and stautory rape. The parent would go to prison.

No, you can only adopt someone to be your child. Your parents would have to adopt the person if you want them to become your sibling.
