If you want the name of a PI that has helped many children and birth mothers re-unite, or at least find out the facts then email me direct to: adoption@plzone.com. I will leave this email active for a while. The lady helped my nephew find his mother (my sister-in-law). My sister-in-law has four kids she raised and they have had a great family reunion. And this P.I. helped my wife find her son she gave up for adoption 30 years ago. All this has turned out wonderful!!! My wife and her son talk every week on the phone and we have even made great friends with the family that adopted him. We talk to them twice a week, or at least email real often. We have exchanged at least 500 photos . . . they story goes on . . .

Yes, if it is determined that you are being abused or neglected you can be taken away from an adoptive parent.

You cannot. Even in private adoptions - where a birth parent knows you and wants you to raise their child - a home study is required. This is for the protection of the kid.

They can pay for your expenses but that is as far as it goes. Federal law says you can not accept money for placing your child for adoption. Expenses for birth, medical, living etc is paid during the pregnancy through the agency by the family who will adopt. Also a sum the following month after birth for post natal care. Anything else counts as trafficking.

There are a ton of ways that the world has created. But as an adopted child myself, I say stay out of it! It's not some fairy tale like you see in the movies. I hated that my birth parents made contact with me. They have homes and families and you gave them up. You'll only be screwing their life up again by making any contact.

Being a guardian/foster parent, you get paid for everything. The child recieves many benefits. Such as Vacation Fund, Or Recreational Fund. Depending on the childs time in care as well, they're eligible to receive free schooling throughout College/University. But being an Adoptive parent you cover the costs of everything. I have personally grown up as a foster child, Been adopted, & unadopted once again. I know how this works.

An adoptive father is your legal guardian and is your father. A step father is a man who marries your mother. He does not have to adopt you and cannot unless your biological father agrees to give up his rights as a parent.

There are many types of adoption including international and local. There is also Open and private adoptions. An Open adoption is when the biological parent(s) are allowed visitation with the child. A private adoption is like when a child is turned over into the chosen adopted family right after birth and the biological parent(s) have no contact with the child.

The child must be available for adoption...that means the parental rights of the birth parents must be terminated legally. I have one friend who signed over her rights to someone else so that an adoption could take place.

yes you can get a fathers rights terminated if he has been terminated if he's been in and out of prison ---- Having parental rights (and responsibilities) terminated is a very serious action which doesn't happen automatically because someone's in prison. It's a lengthy court process. You need to talk to a family law attorney.

Depends on where you live bit in most countries you can marry a cousin adopted or not. If you are not first cousins but second, third etc it's rarely illegal. We know today that children of first cousins don't run a bigger risk of having damaged children, like siblings having children together, than if they were not related at all.

Very gently, it would break my heart if my child would want to be adopted by someone else. Im assuming that you dont have a good relationship with your parents to even consider this. If that is the case did you ever think of family counseling to get to the root of the problem. If you've done that or neither of you are interested in this option then depending on your age, underage, with their consent of course. Go down to your local court house and see the civil clerk to get the proper papers to move forward. Good luck

The bond between a mother and her children is strongest for most children. Then, a good majority of teens think they "hate" both their parents. Somewhere by the time an adult child is earning their own money, paying their own bills, kicking themselves for their mistakes and then solving their own problems, adult kids don't hate their parents as much as before. But it can still be hard to say "I love you"... until the adult has their own children. So no, it isn't weird to love your mom, nor weird to dislike her sometimes, too.

As of 2014, NO U.S. state explicitly forbids gay people from adopting; however, only 22 states allow joint adoptions for gay couples. In Utah, no single person is allowed to adopt.

An adoption aency is not an official woozband unitz. It is a unitz made by woozworld players like you and me. To get to one you need to search the eventz for one or an adoption agency might be featured in the top unitz section

An adoption is where a child is "adopted" by another couple who is not their birth parents. This gives a child a nice home and a good future...

There are a great many advantages and disadvantages of adoption. Advantages include saving a child's life from what they came from.

As long as the state you live in allows gay adoptions, yes. Some states do not allow gay people to adopt children. Some states allow you to adopt, as long as you are not in a relationship at the time of the adoption. You will have to check your state's laws on gay adoption in order to be certain.

I managed to find a site for you that has a free search. (see below under Related Links) If you have any information on the birth parents or your sister, please write it down. The more information you can give them the better.

If you aren't successful please post me back and I'll do more research for you.

If you are not the biological father of the child then no the mother still retains her rights as the child's maternal mother and therefore can put a stop to you adopting her child.

In such cases the mother would have be proven enough of an unfit parent that her rights are legally stripped from her but that is very slim chance unless her behavior puts the child in danger.

Now once the child reaches a certain age (which is different in different states and countries) the child may decide they want you to adopt them and may choose to be adopted by you in which case the court would (usually) honor the child's decision and allow the adoption to proceed.

If the mother is unmarried and the father has never established his paternity that might be possible if the mother claims the father is unknown. If the father knows he has fathered a child he can request a DNA test to establish his paternity through the court. The child could not be adopted without his or the court's consent
