Can you adopt Im from Ireland and I would love to give to a child the best that I can?
Contact a socialworker where you live and take the home study first and then you can stand in line for adoption. I think since Ireland is very small you should look abroad for adoption though because there is a risk you will never get a child otherwise. You can also adopt from foster care.

Can an adopted child be emancipated at 16 years old and be re-adopted?
It is very unlikely that a court would emancipate a 16 year old and then allow them to be adopted. If the child is in trouble or danger, the court or child services can ensure they are taken to a safe place if the parents were not a viable option.
Why would you want to now this? ether way, I doubt a child would want to be readopted.
Emancipation does not "undo" an adoption, the parental civil relationship still exists. The Emancipation process only changes the level of parental authority level, just as turning 18 does in most states.
The parental authority be reinstated if the emancipated person was involved in an accident and was no longer capable of making rational adult level decisions a court may begin again the prior authority levels and grant guardianship to the parents either temporarily or permanently.
One parent willnt agre to let you be adopted?

Can biological mother show up at adoptive parents house to try and see the child?
Whether the biological parent are allowed to see their child or not is entirely up to the parents and with that I mean the adoptive parents who now are the guardians of the child.
i shd think so!
I don't know your situation, but maybe the 18year old mother should speak to the father, if she hasn't already.
Again, i don't know what you've done about it, but maybe, if its your daughter, son or a member of family; you should leave them to make their own decisions for themselves and only interfere when they ask you too. Even then, you should only do what they ask you too.
However, if it has got serious, and they still wont say anything, as mean as it sounds, interegating them may help.

The answer seems rather obvious (to me anyway). There is no reason to believe that the batterer would not vent their anger and abuse on the children. Being a battered wife is nothing shameful nor does it make you a bad parent. I believe you would benefit from counseling to help you resolve any issues you may have, from being in an abusive relationship. Good Luck
I have to warn you here - this happened to me.
My ex abused me horribly for 6 years (phys, emotional & sexual abuse). When I had courage enough to leave him, I had to seek counseling to help me get over the abuse and on with my life. He sued saying I was unstable (due to the counseling) and atually WON! Now he has my kids and neglects them completely (no coats, holes in shoes, doesnt care about school problems, etc..)as well as uses them to continue to abuse me emotionally. Ive gone broke between child support ($1200/mth) and legal fees and my kids are suffering and I dont even have any way to help them (Lord knows Im trying). BTW, DSS is useless.
So please please dont take it for granted that an abuser WONT get custody. They are a manipulative breed indeed and can and do use the situation to hurt you. Please dont let this happen to you or your kids.
Why do women have abortions when they can just give the child up for adoption?
The honest truth, more minority races have abortions than white women, couples looking to adopt are usually rich, white couples. The rich white couples only want a little white, blonde hair blue eyed baby.
Being pregnant is a drag. It's physical torture, it really is. Some people would rather get it over with sooner than later.
And in addition to the medical problems, pregnant woman have trouble with the job market, ending up unemployed or without maternity leave and aren't supported.
The best thing you can do is petition the court for emancipation so you can be free to do what you want. You may as well start your working career so that you can work the rest of your life. You may have parents that support you now. Why do you want any free time, when you could be working? I feel your pain, but wait until you are 18, then you can find your birth parents!! Consider the pain that you will cause the parents and family that loves you, before you think of leaving them. This is only thinking of yourself.
How do you adopt a baby when a mother wants to give up all rights to you?
We are in the same kind of process. First of all, if you have a borth mother already, that wants to give her child up to you, you will need a lawyer. Draw up a contract. She will really need a lawyer too. If she does not have the money, and you really want this child you can legally pay for her lawyer. You will want to have contracts drawn up and specify EVERYTHING you can think of. Then you move forward from there.
Answer2: When a parent voluntarily terminates parental rights states require one or both parents to legally consent to the adoption. Most states require
consent to be in writing and done before a judge or other court-appointed person. Many states have designed programs to help with the transition for all persons involved.
If I gave up my parental rights can they be reinstated in NJ?
Technically it is possible but you added this to the Adoption category and if that was the reason you gave the rights up, no you can not have them back. If there was another reason it depends on if the circumstances have changed and if the judge can trust you not to do it again. You need to consult a lawyer about your chances based on your specific case.
If Mom has custody, she gets to decide where you live. Dad would have to petition the court for a change of custody. At 16, the court would take your wishes into consideration, but they consider many other things as well. True, and the fact that the father lives in another state is also a problem.
What do you call the people who run the foster home?
If you are a foster child in a foster home it would be up to your foster parents what you call them. They may want you to call them Mr. & Mrs. ___ or maybe by their first names.
The people who run the foster home are viewed as the foster parents!

In 1917 women were not allowed to vote. The reason was that under the definition of "people" or "persons" the following were excluded- children under 21, patients of mental institution, prisoners, and women. Nellie McClung argued before parliament that women were indeed persons and won the right for women to vote.
