How do you give yourself up for adoption at the age of 15?
This is not up to you. A minor can not do that. You need you parents top give up their rights and the social workers take over. If someone wants to adopt you they have to speak to your parents first.
Unless you have custody or legal gaurdianship, Grandparents carry no rights to their grandkids. * If the grandparents do not wish to keep taking responsibility for the child they should contact the state's department of children and family services for assistance. Please be advised that when a report is made the agency is required to conduct an investigation of all involved parties.

How do you find someone who was put up for adoption 19 years ago?
Email this guy. this is what he posted on the internet:
I know that are many people have discovered they have a sibling that was put up for adoption. I understand the range of emotions that this news brings forth. I have so many questions myself. I have been searching for over two years now for a sister that was put up for adoption in Odessa Texas. We think that she was born the end of 1949 or the beginning months of 1950 at the Gettins Clinic. She might not even know that she was adopted. I have learned a great deal about finding people. During my search I have helped several people find their loved ones. This has made all the time, money, and hard work worth while. If you need help let me know. I would like to help if I can. Sometimes it is impossible to find a family member as I have found, other times it's much easier than you think. LIN nilesnick@hotmail.com
How are the adoption of a child and the addition of a child to a foster family similar?
From personal experience I can tell you that adopting a child is incredibly rewarding, and can make a family feel complete, but more importantly it gives the child a sense of belonging, and with joining a foster family it can feel like work b/c you never know for how long your going to be staying with the family, but if they are a good family, it feels great to be part of a loving environment.
After what I can find you do not need their permission, you can give up your child for adoption if you want BUT...in the US there is the Indian Child Welfare Act. This is a federal law that deals with adoptive placement of Native children. The Act states that the children can be placed with adoptive families in the following order:
1) Native biological family
2) Native, same tribe, non-biological family
3) Native, different tribe, non-biological family
4) Non-native
So the tribe don't have to agree with you giving your child up but they have to agree to the adoptive placement of any tribal members (or the children of tribal members) and has up to 2 years from the date of finalization of the adoption to become involved.
So contact an adoptive agency so you can find a suitable family as soon as possible and in the meantime your child will be in foster care.
Only if they are old enough to remember or they have some piece of information with it on.
Which method of proposing and ratification have 26 of the 27 amendments been adopted by?

Well my mom is getting another divorce and i haven't ever really liked living with her?
Assuming your a kid/teen I don't think you can ask to be put in foster care. I think that you only get into it if your family is having problems and your parents aren't fit to care for you

How can you adopt a 17 year old non citizen?
Not sure you will have time before he turns 18. If he turns 18 he will not become a citizen. His parents have to give up their parental rights and you have to pass the home study. Then you need a lawyer to draw up the papers that every signs and then the lawyer get it approved in court.
If you are adopted should your adoptive or biological father sign your wedding certificate?
If you are adopted, your biological father has no legal standing. And there is no requirement that any parent sign a wedding certificate. If you are underage, you may need signatures to obtain the marriage license and it would be the adoptive parent that would have to sign.
Why is open adoption better for the child?
I'm considering adoption for my child because i am not financially responsible an in college! plus the father of this child is not talking to me an is back with his ex girlfriend! so i was put in a spot where i had no choice but to give my child to more responsible, an loving hands, i chose to have a open adoption, the child has a right to know who i am an has a right to know who its father is as well! it helps reassure that the child has a background for medical an ethnical questions! it also helps the child understand the type of family it has . An that the selfless act i pursued by giving an infertile couple a baby the longed for an a better life for my child! yet i do not plan to interviene many times in the child's life i wish to let the child grow an live by the rules an teachings an values of its adoptive parents , an to let the child know that i am still out there if he/or she ever needs me for any reason in his/or her lifetime!
I have adopted children and I think open adoption is better for the child because they don't have to go through all of the emotional trauma that children in closed adoptions have to go through. If they have a question about the biological family, they can call or write and ask. In our situation, they also know they weren't stolen or something because the birth mom and I have both told them that this was the best thing for them. They also know they weren't "given away" because they were bad or unloved. I guess, in a nutshell, a child can never have too many people who love them.
Name of Relation with sister's daughter?
Being your sister's brother or sister you would be an uncle or an aunt to her daughter.
No. A stepparent has no legal authority in regards to non biological children. He or she cannot give a stepchild permission to marry, leave the custodial parent or any other legal issue. If one biological parent has sole custody he or she can give the minor child permission to marry. If both biological parents share custodial rights, both must give permission for an underaged minor to marry.
