If you sign adoption papers over to your mom do you still have rights to see the child?
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.
What age is best to adopt a child?
Does it matter what age the child is if you put he or she up for adoption
Does a biological child have rights when a parent dies if they have been adopted?
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.

How do you know if you are adopted?
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.
How many adopted children look for birth parents?
"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.
Should you give a gift to children in an adoption party?
- 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.

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
Can you be adopted at 27 years old?
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.
My daughter ask me why her birth mom gave her up for adoption?
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.
Can parental rights be taken away for lack of visiting the child?
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.
What happens if the custodial parent doesn't show up for a modification hearing?
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.
How does a narcissistic parent react or feel when they lose one of their children to suicide?
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.
Should same-sex couples be allowed to adopt children?
Opinion from an opponent of the idea:
No. In most countries this is illegal however it is permitted in certain circumtances. It is a historical and undoubted fact that the best environment in which to raise children is within a stable marriage of one man and one woman. One mother and one father. This is how children have been raised for centuries. Having, for example, two fathers can be seen as an insult to societal norms.
Opinion from someone supportive of the idea:
Yes. Studies show that children raised by gay parents grow up to be well-adjusted members of society. In fact, children of Lesbian parents are the most well-adjusted. Growing up in a loving household is all that matters.
Furthermore, it's not possible to teach someone to be gay. 99% of gay people have straight parents, and they didn't "learn" to be straight.
How much is it to adopt a teen?
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.
Do people who are adopted have the legal right to know who their biological parents are?
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.

Do foster parents who adopt still get monthly assitance?
Sometimes, the amounts vary by state, and work on a case by case basis.
In general:
- You will get an adoption subsidy if you are adopting special needs children (medical, severe behavior, autism, sibling groups, mixed race, children older than 8 years old, etc)
- You may be able to negotiate one with the case manager regardless of special needs.
Are gay people allowed to adopt children?
As of 2017, gay people can technically adopt in all 50 U.S. states, but they are still routinely denied in some states. Single people (gay or straight) are allowed to adopt in all states except Utah.
Why are so many children in foster care in the US?
Sexual abuse, violence, negligence, starvation, abandonment.
Some children go into foster care when a loving parent is temporarily unable to care for the child due to illness, homelessness or job loss - when no other family member is able to take over.
Occasionally a parent is just not able to provide appropriate care for a child, this too can lead to foster care.
A nun can have a child, certainly, however, the question rather should be is a nun allowed to have a child? Nuns take a vow of chastity which means they voluntarily decide to remain celibate during their lives in order to better serve God in the religious life. To willfully have a child after making such a vow to God would be gravely sinful.
