Adoption

Answer

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.

it might be a turtoise or a turtle or something

Your mother getting married is not the same as adoption. Your status does not change unless there is a formal adoption process, which means your natural father has to agree as well.

Does it matter what age the child is if you put he or she up for adoption

When a child is put up for adoption it means the biological parent has given up all legal rights to the child. In the same way the child has no legal claim on the biological parents. The person that adopts a child takes all legal responsibility.

HI MY NAME IS MARLENE MORAN AND I'M LOOKING FOR MY BROTHER DOUGLAS MORAN , MY BROTHER CANT HEAR OR TALK HE IS HIS TURNING 30YEARS OLD ON OCTOBER 29TH OF THESE YEAR AND I REALLY NEED TO SEE HIM ITS BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS SEEN'S I'VE HEARD FROM HIM I WONDER EVERY DAY IF HIS DOING GOOD AND IF HIS OKAY.

Most adoptive parents now tell the child, or the adopted child was old enough to know he/she was adopted. You can talk to your parents about any questions related to your birth, place of birth, time of birth, doctor who delivered you, etc.

As a side note, many children wonder "Was I adopted?" Sometimes the question arises after a child meets a friend who was adopted, or when a child feels conflict with his/her parents. Some children wish they had been adopted.

"Real" parents are the parents who love and care for a child. So, adoptive parents are a child's real parents. If you are talking about returning to birth parents, this rarely happens. There are many processes in place to make sure that the best interests of the child are honored. This means a "forever family" that is formed by adoption. The parent-child bond is formed both emotionally and legally. Some families keep close ties between adoptive families and birth parents, and everyone can live happily with this arrangement if it is what is best for the child.

• Yes, once the child is adopted and they are babies then treat it the same way you as you would going to a baby shower. If the child is older then a gift for the child and a nice card with perhaps a bottle of wine congratulating the new parents would be nice.

..every minute..2-3 child in the world was born..if a single parent can adopt even a single child..we can lessen the poverty rate and abandoned child...

The National Survey of Family Growth estimates that 14000 babies were voluntarily relinquished for adoption in the US in 2003.

There are two essential paid for Web Sites that are indispensable for British Isles researchers, they are Ancestry.com which gives all of the Census records from 1837 to 1901. and Genesreunited.com which will allow you to view other researchers family Trees. A good free one is FreeBMD

As already mentioned www.familysearch.com has the largest collection of world records in the world. They are stored inside Granite Mountain in Utah. The records contain billions of names for free research. The Mormon church has been doing Family History since the 1800's.

http://www.rootsweb.com/ and http://www.ancestralfindings.com/ are both really good, free websites. You can also search Google, as Marcy stated. Also try http://www.familysearch.org

try zabbasearch.com

it gives you an initial free search and then you have to pay for more details rootsweb free pages.com is great. you can do tree searches and find other people doing the same family who are willing to exchange info

No, you need to be a child under 18 to be available for adoption.

However, take a look at some legal paths. In some countries it's possible to legally change the name of your parents on your birth certificate, as long as you have a valid reason to convince the judge.

Because they realize they are not capable of caring for an infant at that particular time of their life. Perhaps they are not financially able, or not in good health, or any number of legitimate reasons. A mother who allows her child to be adopted gives the child the opportunity to grow up in a secure and loving family environment. She is not doing it to make her life easier but to make the child's life better, it is an unselfish, courageous and loving act.

It is possible.

An absent parent with visitation rights who never visits with the child may lose those rights and the court may eventually allow a legal adoption by a step parent.

If your children are in foster care, and you have a case plan (to get them back), and fail to meet the requirements of your case plan by repeatedly missing visits, you may find your parental rights terminated.

It depends on the state you live in and what changes you are attempting to make. Also if they have an attorney who is willing to take the responsibility for not verifying that they were informed.

Usually tho the parent who does show wins by default.

It depends. If, at the time of death, the child was functioning as a source of narcissistic supply to the narcissist - then the narcissist will mourn and grieve. Otherwise, he is likely to remain indifferent (though he may pretend otherwise in order to maintain his standing in society and his relationship with the other parent).

I'm kind of curious of the reverse of this question. My abuser's mother comitted suicide right after an argument with him. He seemed distant and indifferent at first, but then it hit him and he left me the day before my birthday for a while so he could drink/do drugs/date a different girl in peace. Then he came back to me and picked up the abuse. I've since left him, but I just thought the question peculiarly similar to my own situation.

5000-30,000 depending on where you live , and the child's needs .

If it's a private adoption like your step child you can do it without a lawyer so then you just pay small fees and if you adopt from foster care the cost could be nothing but a few hundred because it's so rare than people adopt teens. Talk to the social worker handling the child's case.

about 100,000

Yes they have a right to know. There are many Pro's like seeing what you actually look like beside them, meeting them for the first time, hearing their voices, spending time you lost together. However there are many Cons like, people fake to be the right person, they don't want to know who you are, you look nothing like them, they have drug addiction, alcohol addiction anything. But it is better to find out than it just being a dream. Hope that is enough for you.
