How can you find your sister who was adopted about 30 years ago?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes - contact Centre Analytics. 888.420.7641.

There mostly do research for clients like the Department of Defense, but will take on special projects occasionally like this for a minimal fee. They put their Military strength resources to work and make this type of research/investigation seem like child's play. They generally do it for you while you wait on the phone if you have the basic data for the sibling or child.

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.

Can your son be adopted by your sons mothers husband without you signing him over?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Adoption is a court procedure among other things and because of that there are certain things the court wants to be sure of before allowing for an adoption and at the top of that list is the status of the child's biological parents. It is becoming more common for parents to remarry and have their new spouse adopt their child from a previous relationship. In order for a stepparent to adopt, he or she will need the written consent of the other biological parent. If this consent is denied, the stepparent must petition the court to terminate the parental rights of the biological parent, unless those rights have already been terminated as part of the divorce.

How much money does a foster parent get a month?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several variables. In some states the foster family is paid a per diem per child. This is meant to cover the expenses of the child (other than medical). The per diem rates vary based on the child's situation. Foster families that take special needs children often receive more. You need to check into the laws in your area to find out.

Do you have to be emancipated in order for someone to adopt you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The majority of US states do not allow the emancipation of minors.

Those states that have emancipation procedures rarely grant such rights. If a decree is granted it can be rescinded at any time for any reason before the minor reaches the state's age of majority.

The minimum age for filing an emancipation petition in states that have status is 16.

The issue of adoption would not be relevant if the minor meets all other requirements.

What does the Bible say about adoption by same-sex couples?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

This is the same book that forbids cotton/poly blend shirts (Leviticus 22:11: "Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together"), of course, so strictly speaking you don't get to pick and choose which of the forbidden practices you condemn outright and which you say "yeah, well, they didn't have polyester then, so I'm sure it's okay" about.

The one justification Christians have for insisting on the one but not the other is that in the new testament there's a passage (1 Corinthians 6) that basically says "we're not under the law anymore, so we can do nearly anything we like, but thesethings are still sins," one of which is "sexual immorality" (and homosexual acts between men are called out specifically).

Where can you put yourself up for adoption?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two options. The child can be reliquished to the care of juvenile social services and become a ward of the court. Or a private attorney who specializes in adoption and is registered as such with the court of jurisdiction. Some states allow private adoption agencies which are licensed and bonded by the state, to assist both the adoptive parents and the parent(s) who is giving up custody.
