Adoption

They need to file a "child in need of care" motion in the court with evidence showing the child is not beng cared for properly, or abused in the family home. Simply being a teenager not wanting to listen to your parents is not abuse.

Either relinquish your child for adoption, or be deemed unfit by a court

In the US the parents relinquishing their parental rights and the adopting couple must be represented by legal counsel. If the court terminates parental rights or the minor child is orphaned he or she becomes a ward of the state and the court appoints a Guardian Ad Litem to represent the child during custodial/guardianship procedures and other judiciary actions. In most states a GAL must be an attorney, in a few states it can be any non-related person that the court deems qualified to make decisions that are in the best interest of the child, such as a member of CASA.

This varies depending on where you live but before the adoption is finalized I have heard one year. Once the adoption is finalized there is nothing you can do.

No. The biological father can give up his rights and if your husband then want to be more than a step parent, who have no rights to the child, can adopt your child. Or not, that is your choice as the parent.

The short answer to this question is no. Often times one or both parents terminate their parental rights before the child is born (this is often done in cases where the parents are planning to put the child up from adoption). However, the laws vary from state to state. Thus, you must research the laws in the state where the child will be born. An attorney can help you understand your parental rights, including terminating those rights.

If there is no will, the law normally splits the estate between the spouse and the natural children.

Yes you can adopt a child in North Carolina if over 20 years ago you where convicted of a felony for drugs depending on if other than that your record is clean.

in my state all you need is to have your sister write a letter and sign it and notery it. * Temporary custody (90 days or less) can be granted by the parent(s) in a writing and notarized stating the time the minor child will begin living with the caregiver and the time the arrangement will end. It must also include permission for the caregiver to obtain medical care for the minor child and financial arrangements of support. The parent must keep in contact with the caregiver and child on a weekly basis, preferably in person. Such an agreement IS NOT legally binding and the parent does not relinquish any parental rights to the child, nor does such documentation assure that state social service agencies (DCS, CPS, etc.) will not intervene. A permanent arrangement such as adoption or legal guardianship must be done through the court. A parent cannot simply "give" their child to whomever they choose regardless if it is a family member or not. To circumvent prescribed legal procedure can create serious legal problems for all the parties involved and might result in the child being taken into protective custody by the state.

The issue isn't how long they've been in custody. Once the parental rights have been terminated (TPR - termination of parental rights), the child is eligible for adoption. If the children have not been TPR'd then they are not eligible for adoption.

The only way anybody (other than you, your medical provider, and your insurance coverer) can get your medical information is if you give permission by signing a form and listing the people that you want to have access to your records. This means that nobody--other than those listed above--can access your records withour your permission--even if they are your parents :).

There is no explicit prohibition against adoption by same-sex couples. A same-sex partner may adopt the other's child.

yes, in fact that is almost always the case. The state or in your case social services, can do whatever they see fit and healthy for the children no matter the parents say. Their primary goal is the safety of the children.

I would think that if the mother and father are not together and the mother is willing to give up custody of the child to the father than the father would have rights to the child. If the adoption papers haven't been canceled yet they will have to be signed when the baby is born saying that the mother and father give up parental rights to the child

Tough one. Usually the court will appoint an investigation and decide based on the results. A lot of parents give up their right in order not pay child support. The court wants to make sure that this is not the case.

That you have no right to see your child. Child Support is a separate issues. see links

There are different types of homes for children and for disabled adults. Normally group homes for children are agencies of the government which places these types of children, mostly delinquent children, in these types of homes and for a specific amount of time. The only other type of homes for children are foster homes, which can be started by any single or couple who are willing to become foster parents. Every state has its own rules by which this is done, so you will have to check with that state. Generally there has to be enough facility to hold a group of foster children, and the potential foster parents must undergo a background check and application process.

• Yes, a Schizophrenic parent can take care of a child if they are continuing to take their medications; working with their doctor and doing well. However, it would be wise to bottle feed instead of breast feeding because of the medication the patient takes. The only downside to Schizophrenic patients that are doing well is they can still become nervous or experience anxiety and would need some support from their spouse and family to give them a rest from time to time.

As a foster parent you can offer a foster child your love, support and help them learn, grow and change as a person. You can offer them a stable and safe environment. Offer them support and care for them like you would your own.

Most of all you can offer a foster child a home no matter how temporary. It's the sense of belonging and family that means everything to a foster child

None. Unless the godfather is in the will as the person who will be given the child if the parent dies, there are no rights.

If the will does not otherwise specify how to handle the child, and you want to adopt the child, you should get in contact with the social workers who are handling the child(ren). Case workers often prefer to place children with family, or family friends when it's possible and safe to do so. You'll still have to become licensed as a foster/adoptive parent in your state.

Whether it's right or wrong, it's not possible unless the birth parent's rights have been legally terminated.

On May 23, 2002, the Florida Supreme Court struck down the concept of diminished value claims and handed insurers a major victory when the Court released its opinion in Siegle v. Progressive Consumers Insurance Co., 819 So. 2d 732 (Fla. 2002), in which it upheld both a lower court and appellate court ruling that a properly repaired vehicle does not lose value.

Your husband has no rights over the child because he did not help in the creation of the child, but he can legally adopt her.

This is a big if. Foster parents are paid, and they must have a social security number. Their backgrounds are also checked before the child is placed. If it is only a family matter, then the family decides what to do, but it could be difficult for the child to get citizenship papers later.
