Do adopted children have the right to find their biological parents?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, every child has the rights to find their biological parents. For an instance their health. It's for the child to decide, give them a chance to decide for themselves.

When they are adults they can do as they wish but sometimes the biological parents don't want contact and can then take measure to prevent they meet.

In the state of Massachusetts if a biological father is unaware of a child and the child is adopted by his stepfather is the bio dad responsible for any back child support?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.

In Georgia does a sibling have vistation rights?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No they do not have any rights to there grandchildren whether it be visitation or anything unless they have taken care of the child for at least 6 months in a row then they can go through legal procedures to get visitation.

The laws regarding visitation rights for grandparents vary from state to state and are often determined on a case-by-case basis.

Briefly, all states require that the grandparents have the burden of proving the visits are in the best interest of the child. Be advised that when the grandparents are trying to wrest control of grandchildren of their deceased child from the surviving parent- that type of situation may not be considered to be in the best interest of the child.

Some states are more permissive: Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland and NY. Other state are more strict such as Florida, Minnesota and Pennsylvania where the child must have lived with them or they must have had a parent-child relationship with the grand-child. Some state requirements are extremely narrow where the grandparent must prove they took the child to normal activities such as doctors appointments or school and they cared for the child over extended periods.

You need to consult with an attorney in your state who can review your situation and explain your options.

Do the biological paternal grandparents have visitation rights after a child has been adopted in Massachusetts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Allowing such visitation would be totally at the discretion of the adopting parents. There is not a law that would force them to allow any relatives of the adopted child to continue a relationship. Grandparents as does any person that can is considered an "interested party" have the option to file for guardianship or adoption of the child if they so choose.

Is Geoffery Simmons Ahmad Rashad's son?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes~ Geoffery Simmons is Ahmad Rashad's (Robert/Bobby Moore) and Melody Neal' first biological son. Geoffery was conceived and later born out of wedlock when Melody was 15 years old and Ahmad was 17 years old. Geoffery was born at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, Washington on December 31st, 1967. His birth certificate read "Baby boy Neal" as he was named 9 months later after his adoption by Charles and G. Mary Simmons (Green) a married couple living with two daughters in Bellevue, Washington.

Charles was a veteran working as a lead man at Boeing Airlines and Mary was an office worker. As far as illegitimacy is concerned Bobby and Melody had sustained a 4 year romance which had culminated with his birth. Melody gave birth to Geoffery after going through time at an unwed mother's (Medina Children's) in Seattle.

Bobby was receiving numerous scholarships for his athleticism and Melody knew she could not raise him on her own.

She quickly regretted this and would spend the rest of her life trying to find Geoffery before her untimely death from a rare form of cancer, which cut her life short at the young age of 44. Due to sealed court records and Ahmad's reluctance ( not knowing the circumstances following Geoffery's adoption) at locating him, Melody's efforts and private investigations would not enable her to reconcile with him.

If your children have already been adopted can you still get them back?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If "taken away" means the the court permanently terminated parental rights or parental rights were voluntarily relinquished making the child eligible for adoption, then the answer is no; the biological parent(s) have no legal rights of any sort to the child. However, if the adoptive parents can voluntarily agree to the visitation of a biological parent without there being any action on the part of the court.

How can you adopt a baby without the expense of going through an agency?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer If you go through the Department of children and families, they help with the expenses. In Iowa I know all that you pay is time to register to be an adoptive parent by going to classes, background check, and home study. Then when a child or children are found and you think it is a match you wish to make permanent, they will help you adopt the child(s) what ever it takes. My suggestion for you being an adoptive parent, is to become a foster parent too. There is no extra classes, but in you at least get to have the child in the home to see if they are a fit for your family. We had about 20 foster children and we adopted the last 2 children that was placed in our home. There was a few we thought was a fit, and turned out to be just to much for our family.

How do you get a child removed from a foster care home?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the case is still pending and the children are not postured for adoption, hire an attorney and request a placement hearing before the juvenile Judge. Be prepared for a home study, background check, drug tests, etc, etc, etc..... If you are elderly it is more difficult, just do your push ups and tell the Judge you expect to live to be 150!!!

Can you adopt your child back after you gave her up for adoption?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That's not true at all whoever answered this!!! its different in every state.............some states have laws where the biological parent has a period to take their child back like 1 yr or 2 after adoption then its confirmed ( like Massu adopt a child thru the court the biological can take their child anytime up to 1 after the court date....some states (like u said) say once the baby is adopted thru the court its over and their child.......and some states leave it completley open....3 states hold that law but each state has its own law..........AnswerThat's not possible.

Once the biological parent has relinquished their rights to a child or the court has terminated those rights and the child has been adopted it is permanent.

The only option would be if the adoptive parents voluntarily relinquished their parental rights and the court allowed the child to be placed in the biological mother's custody an action which is highly unlikely.

Other than that the child would have to wait until he or she reached the age of majority and could then make their own decision.

Emancipation of the minor would not be an option as the court would not grant an emancipation decree based on such circumstances.

How do you go about appealing the termination of parental rights?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You need an attorney who specializes in custody issues and the appeal must be filed within a short period of time after the judgment. The court can advise you of the time period for filing an appeal from the judgment.

Do you have to pay child support if you give your children up for adoption?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. What matters is here and now and if a baby is here that baby has rights to be supported by his parents. There are condoms if you don't want to be a parent. No amount of "talking" will prevent pregnancy. You must take action to prevent it.

Asked by Wiki User

If you want to yes you can. If there is someone who needs some conseling about products that you are having trouble w/ contact me. Adopting is a big change and takes some time. My cousin was adopted and was shy. Now she is a crazy freak! If you want to keep the name, you can. Just get your adoptive parents to talk to an agent about it.

What are some reasons Americas adopt children from another country?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If a couple wants a baby adopting isn't as easy as you think and there are many rules and regulations that come with the U.S. Adoption Agencies. Age is a factor; sometimes the fact you aren't married and living together; and also if you are gay. I have gay friends in the States (both females) and they have adopted two children successfully from other countries. They are fantastic parents and spend every weekend with good quality time with their children. To the children it's just two women in a house raising them and when the time comes they intend on telling the children. It' about how much love you have for a child. Some people just love children and have an open heart and may have 2 - 3 children of their own, but are able to adopt a child of any age just to have them in their home and give them a chance in life. You may not remember Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, but they were the couple that really first started to adopt children of all races and were extremely successful at raising well adjusted children because they had a great relationship between them. Some people (if they can afford it) will go through certain lawyers to adopt a baby. Other times some childless couples may adopt a relatives child because of death of the biological parent or the biological parent doesn't want the baby. Blood is thicker than water.
