Your best approach is to involve a lawyer to make sure that you follow all the steps properly to do this.
Are there any other grown up adoptees out there who feel they were adopted by a bad family?
Yes, I am here. There are probably a lot of us who were adopted by bad families because often there is money exchanged. I lived in a household where there were two alcoholics available to abuse me mentally and physically as I was growing up. These people only got a child because they had money that was made by illegal gambling in the form of a 'bookie'. I'm not saying that I'm against the part of making illegal money, but what I am against was all the drinking and abusive behaviour. At this time in my life I am still against adoption because I don't think that anyone is able to treat a child like it's their own and if they think they can, they are lying to themselves. I still see too many cases where kids are abused by someone who is not their parent and sometimes it's a step parent, sometimes it's a forster parent, and sometimes it's an adoptive parent. The worst kind of abuse comes from an adoptive parent because everyone around you assumes that you would not be with this family unless they were decent and yet, here you are..

What factors are considered in a case involving child custody?
The reality is that generally, mothers are favored for primary physical custody. The reason is the other reality that mothers provide more nurturing care and are generally the primary caregivers for young children. That doesn't mean that fathers don't get custody because many do. If the parties are presently in the process of divorce an experienced attorney is essential because the case will need to be carefully prepared and experience in the particular court where the hearing will be held is extremely valuable.
The judge must have convincing evidence that father having custody is in the best interest of the children. The court will consider the father's role in child rearing prior to the divorce action. Who provided the most day-to-day care? Who accompanied the children to doctor's and dentist's visits? Who went to teacher conferences, school plays and sports events? Who assisted the children to dress for school and prepare their homework? Who will care for the children while the father is at work? If the father has legitimate concerns that the mother is incapable of caring for the children properly he needs evidence that will convince the court. However, the motive should be honest concern for the children and not avoiding child support or a desire to hurt or control the children's mother. The lawyer will review the situation and explain the options.
Many men take an active role in raising their children. If the father was the primary caregiver then he should definitely be considered for custody since caregiving should be one of the the main qualifications for awarding custody along with health, safety and stability.

What is the statute of limitations on rescinding an adoption of a stepchild in Louisiana?
There are not any currently. You can adopt a stepchild of any age as long as the parental rights are no longer there.
The best and most accurate information available is at the ICE (formerly INS) Now it's called USCIS.
A pregnant minor or one who is already a parent is not emancipated apart from regarding their health or the child. And adopted children are legally like the biological ones to the adoptive parent. This means you are not emancipated until you are 18 and can only then decide where to go or move.
Adoption cannot be revoked unless there were legal flaws in the adoption process, which is unlikely. You no longer have to pay maintenance (child support), but you also lose rights of access.
I Know Of Something Similar To This Happening About A Year And A Half Ago. The Father Wanted The Baby And The Mother Did Not, However, They Were Not Underage. But Wether You Are Underage Or Not Doesn't Make The Difference, In Some States If You Have A Child Than You Are Automatically Considered An Adult By Law, It's True For Michigan Anyways. Well, The Father Wanted To Keep The Baby And The Mother Did Not, So What The Mother Ended Up Doing Was Dropping The Child Off At A Police Station And The Infant Was Taken Into Custody By The State, By The Way, Dropping A Child Off At A Police Station Or A Hospital Is Only Legal If The Infant Is Three Days Old Or Less. Anyway, The State Got The Child, And The Father Sued And He Won The Case, Putting His Baby's Mother In Jail For Awhile, And He Got Full Custody. So, There's My Legal Knowledge, Now I'll Give You My Advice: For One, Why Give The Child Up If There's A Parent Willing To Take Care Of Him/Her? The World Needs More Fathers Like This One, We've Got Too Many Deadbeats. And If The Father Has No Reason To Not Be A Fit Father Than He Will Get Full Custody, No Matter What The Mother Wants, All She Has To Do Is Sign Her Rights Over, Unless She Does Something Horrific, Then Her Rights Will Just Be Taken From Her. Anyway, It's Pretty Sick To Try To Force Adoption On A Parent Who Is Trying To Care, The Only Way The Mother Could Do This Is If The Father Was Visibly Unable To Care For The Child And The Mother Would Have To Prove That To The State, Then The Child Would Be Taken From The Father's Care. Ex. If The Father Beat The Child, Neglected The Child, Molested The Child, Or Was Unemployed, In Debt, Or Had Drug Problems, Gang Problems, Etc Etc Etc. Those Would Be Some Probable Causes For The Child To Be Legally Taken From The Dad. But If The Mother Just Simply Wants Nothing To Do With The Baby And Wants The Same For The Other Parent Then No, The Mother Will Not Win.
It depends on the State the parent and child reside in, the State the temporary legal guardianship was signed in, and weather or not a judge was involved. Usually a temporary guardianship is revocable by either of the natural parents, either by having a revocation notarized or by simply writing on their copy of the temporary guardianship form that such guardianship is being revoked with a signature and date of revocation. This is then presented to the temporary guardian and the child is turned straight over to the natural parent who now wishes guardianship returned to them. The temporary guardian can fight the issue and get the courts involved, but the vast majority of time things go the parents way in these regards. Again, it all goes back to circumstance and especially the State where this is all taking place. I would suggest googling "temporary guardianship rights", or see if you can look up the specific legal codes on guardianship in your state.
Can your adopted parents withhold information about your biological mother?
Generally, this is a state legal issue. Find the age after which the adopted child can search for a biological parent in the state where you live.
It is important for a child to understand the biological implications of his or her body, and half that medical information comes from the biological mother.
Adoptive parents may want to 'protect' a child from information about its biological parents, for whatever reason, but biological details may not be unreasonably withheld.
YES THIS IS TRUE BUT SOMETIMES THE PARENTS AREN'T ALLOWED TO SHOW YOU ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR BIOLOGICAL PARENT THE STATE WONT LET THEM
there is no law determined to adopted parents that says what information is to give to a adopted children.
Not without the permission of the executor. They are responsible for making sure the estate is maintained.
In Kansas, if the father did not begin paying child six month prior to the birth of the child, he cannot challenge an adoption. Guess how many know this?
Want to find a birth certificate for a family member to obtain their date of birth?
If they are living, you cannot, they have to apply for it. If they are deceased, contact the county that the relative was born in. They will be able to provide the appropriate form to allow you to get the a birth certificate, more and more are posting the forms online. Note that the death certificate should include the birth date, though it is not always correct.
Do you have a right to know who accused you of parental child neglect?
In most places, no. They don't want people tracking them down and extracting revenge. In most cases they can tell pretty quickly if the person who made the report is out to get someone, or if there is a legitimate concern.
What is the time frame for a child to be considered abandoned in Indiana?

Who pays for neonatal care when parents can't?
If you don't have insurance, and are low income then the state does. However, only if you are practically poverty level. There are some organizations as well as some states that provide assistance through W.I.C. Check with your state and Social Services department.
Of course I don't know your full situation, but, you could try fighting this in the courts by seeing a lawyer. Unfortunately, as long as a father (or mother) pays child support then they have many rights. If either didn't pay child support and came back into the child's life (just because they decided too and they weren't in prison or in hospital) they shouldn't have any rights, but sometimes the courts act like they are on crack and there is no justification for the courts actions. If you are fairly sure the father is on drugs what you can do is take this problem to Child Welfare. Child Welfare is just that ... they sure wouldn't want a child around a drug user. From there Child Welfare has the right to investigate the father's environment (without his permission) and keep a file (with proof of drug use) or comments from that case worker that the father is not responsible enough to have the child in their care and present it to the courts once again and you will probably win full custody (if you get the right judge.) Good luck Marcy Drug testing can only be ordered by the court after a complaint and investigation by DFS/CPS and the complaint has been found valid. The person filing the complaint should keep in mind they may face contempt of court if such a report is found to be false and to have been committed as an "act of hostility or vindictiveness". What the other poster said was well put, but in most realistic situations it's difficult to get drug testing done unless ordered by the courts, but, if you are abused in any way by your partner due to drugs, alcohol, etc., you have every right (WITHOUT PROOF) to go to Child Welfare so they can do their jobs ... investigate the environment the children are living in. If they suspect or see that indeed the person is on drugs they can, by law, make a report and put it through the court system. Good luck Marcy
In general, parents and others responsible for the care of juveniles are not responsible for the torts of their minor children. They are, however, responsible for their own torts, including, pertinent to this question, negligence. In order to recover against the parents of the disease-spreader for negligence, an injured plaintiff would have to show that the parents had some legal duty to act to prevent their child from engaging in the sexual conduct through which he or she spread the disease. Absent a specific statutory duty, which seems unlikley to exist in any Anglophone jurisdiction, to control the sexual activity of a minor child known to have a sexually transmissible disease, I do not see how any such a duty would be found. Parents are not required to watch or control children old enough to engage in sexual activity constantly, and it could not be reasonably believed that children irresponsible enough to engage in sexual activity despite knowing that they had STDs would obey even stern orders from their parents. The only circumstances in which I could imagine recovery for this would be cases of children who did not know that they had the diseases while their parents did know and chose not to tell them. One who is responsible for making medical decisions for a child and receiving his or her diagnostic test results probably has a duty to disclose those test results if they indicate a danger of infecting others or, at least, not to take any action to prevent or avoid disclosure of the test results to the minor.
