Adoption

This depends on the child. I work in a behavioral home for children age 4-12. The kids I work with have often hurt their caretakers during rages. Right now, I have bruises from a 10 year old girl whom I had to restrain so she wouldn't run away in downtown fort worth. My coworker is off because of a back injury from these kids. If they are higher functioning kids, no way. But severely traumatized kids can be extremely dangerous to themselves and others. Another child has permanently damaged a baby from bashing the baby's head into a crib. She should not have been left alone with the baby, but still, most kids would not do something like that.

You need to get good information on the type of kid you might get. Expect fits in the beginning, they will test your limits to see if you will keep them safe. But, don't agree to take specialized kids unless you are willing to get the bruises, lock up all knives, medications, and other potentially dangerous items. Also, in severely abused kids, they can make false allegations, so your reputation is something to consider. I would never ever ever as a single parent take in any child because of this. I've seen too many times kids get mad and make up a story that could not be true.

People love to assume caretakers are at fault when things go wrong, because there are many who do not do a good job. But the good ones I think are at risk. I am saying a lot, but keep in mind I only work with behavioral kids. So I'm seeing the worst cases. There are many sweet kids who need good homes. Just insist on taking basic children. Anything beyond that could be dangerous.

Relatives of the adopted child whether biological or through the adoptive parents are given the opportunity to become the minor child's guardian. If there is an estate a Guardian Ad Litem will be appointed to represent the minor child. If there is family member able to fill the position then the court declares the minor child a ward of the state and and again appoint a Guardian Ad Litem (attorney) to oversee the minor's financial and personal welfare. The GAL with permission from the court will make the decision as to whom shall retain custody of the minor child and where said child will reside and how his or her finances should be handled until he or she reaches the age of majority.

Can a step parent exclude a biological parent from medical insurance access?

Yes. Same-sex marriage was legalized in Pennsylvania on May 20, 2014, pursuant to a federal court decision striking down Pennsylvania's ban on same-sex marriage. And, there is no explicit prohibition of joint adoption by same-sex couples. A same-sex partner is permitted to adopt the other partner's child and single gay persons are also permitted to adopt.

Yes. Beginning in 2006, same-sex couples are able to jointly adopt children in Belgium.

Do you really love them? Did they give you way for a good reason like did they give you away cause they couldn't take care of you ? Do they ever think of how it would be if they keep you? Would they want you to me in there lives now? That is a extremely personal issue which only the individual involved in the situation should decide. One very important factor would be, obtaining the medical history. For instance if there is a family history of cancer or genetic/hereditary disease.

Of course if your sister let you!

Yes and no.

If the biological parent is proven unfit to care for they're children then the step parent has the right to APPLY for custody of his/her step children.

Keep in mind that being married to the biological parent doesn't automatically make them the parent of the children nor does it make them they're legal guardian so there are no guarantees that the step parent will be given custody.

If the children are happy with the step parent and no one in the biological parents family protest the application and the step parent is proven fit to care for the child(ren) then most usually the courts will award the step parent custody.

only if the child has been neglected or abused

If a parent AGREES to give up their rights, no attorney is needed, but a written agreement made, and signed with a WITNESS, that way it can't come back to haunt either party

There is an adoption agencies here in Espanola, New Mexico. Every few times a year they will have a display of the children available for adoption and information on them. To get more information... please go to: directoryadoption.com/local/Espanola.html or articles.directrym.adoption_espanola_NM you can also go to: childadoptionagenciesofNM

Depends on how old you are.

Yes, there are two ways.

1. If there is some sort of abuse that happens in the adopted parent's home, it's possible for the child(ren) to go back into foster care.

2. Sadly, some adoptive parents treat adoption as if it were a trial parenting thing, and wind up giving the child back. This is referred to as a "disrupted adoption"

I'm sorry but the court will not revert the adoption. You can try and I suggest you consult a lawyer on this but this is extremely rare if it even happens. Even if he lose custody and they terminate his rights they will not go back to you. The court will not think it is in the child's best interest to be with someone who once gave them up. But you should consult a lawyer to see if there is any chance.

If he only wants to take your name, he can do a name change. If you both want to have a legal parent-child relationship, you will need to do an adoption. Check with the laws in your state to determine what is involved -- the laws differ from state to state.

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Not without the other parent agreeing to the relinquishment of his or her parental rights as well. Any parent can file for the voluntary termination of parental rights. It is the judge's decision whether it will be granted, and if so, to what extent. A TPR is not a legal instrument to be used as a way for a parent to be relieved of their responsibilities to their minor child or children.

I don't know how long ago the adoption was but it takes about 2 years until you all start to feel like a family so be patient. They are your parents now and depending on where you live are you not allowed to choose until you are 18 years old. I would imagine you were very little when adopted since they rarely let a child be adopted against their will so I'm guessing here you have grown up and just don't like the family at the moment. That happens to biological children as well. And trust me - you will get over it. This is what happens when you grow up and keep changing. What was fine 6 months ago feels absolutely wrong now. But it will change again. And they do love you and wanted a child more than anything since they chose adoption. Adopted children are always wanted children. At 18 you are free to do as you wish.

the birth father would have to surrender all parental rights. then apply for adoption.

A mixed child has problems depending where his parents decide to live. Different communities have different customs and cultural habits. The mixed child becomes aware that he is neither black nor white, Latino nor norwegian, or any other mixture of culture or race. The problem for the mixed child is that he looks and acts differently than his peers in school because he has learned habits of both cultures his parents came from.

A foreign child has the same problems because he does not have cultural references, but since he is wildly different than the other children in their experience, he is generally left alone. There will always be bullies who pick on children based on their own insecurities and the mixed child needs to remember that he is very much loved by his parents...and he is special!

His parents chose to love each other in a culture that values sameness. His parents chose to have a beautiful child that is a product of BOTH cultures. The mixed child can be the bridge between culture or races if he values himself enough.

Be strong and remember that you are a valuable member of your family and your society and someday you will grow up to be someone who is very special in society.

No, you can only use one agency per adoption and I would recommend you do so. There are banks, however, that will work with the financial assistance organizations and can provide you low or no interest loans. If you are of Jewish decent, you can qualify for specific loans for Jewish families that are NO INTEREST for the LIFE of the loan. **all this is from experience and research**
