Adoption

They have to give up all their rights in whatever child is the subject of the action. The children affected are named in the court orders. Once the court order is issued a parent's rights are terminated regarding that child.

Adoption papers look very similar to any other legal document. They consist of many pages of information and signatures for example.

It depends if it is a kinship placement or not. If the child is related to you, you can file for adoption as part of the termination of parental rights or anytime thereafter. If it is a kinship placement, the case worker should explore the possibility of you adopting the child as part of their permanancy plan for the little one. If this is NOT a kinship placement and you are a foster parent, you need to have the child in your care continuously for one year before you have standing to sue for custody/adoption of the child. Hope that helped some.

If there is not will and the child is not the natural child of the deceased, and has not been adopted, they have no legal standing to inherit anything. If the child is the descendant of the wife and not the deceased, the child will get nothing directly, the wife will inherit. And if there were children of the deceased, but not the wife, those children may inherit some things.

Yes they do.

If you are asking about a step-parent adoption the answer is yes, but you have to have the permission of the parent you are replacing thus they give up all rights to the child. It can be difficult but if it's in the best interest of the child the courts will allow it.

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.

Yes, many things.

First and foremost as an adopted adult, the number one priority in my adoptee rights activism life right now is to get my records unsealed by the state of California. Sealed records is a very controversial topic, it is a violation of the adoptees civil rights and human rights to be denied access to our original birth certificates. Mothers who surrendered their children to adoption are coming forward and saying they were never promised secrecy and even if someone did give them an unlawful promise, its not the courts obligation to uphold such promises. Access to our original birth certificates doesn't guarantee us a reunion and isn't about a reunion, its about equality for adoptees. Its a civil rights issue. Only 6 states honor adoptee's unconditional access to their records.

Another "hot" topic I've been reading about on various sites and something that has always bothered me personally is the difference in prices of adoption fees according to the race of the child. Apparently white infants are in the greatest demand so they have the highest adoption "fees." I am biracial, so I was cheaper than the white babies, but more expensive than the full blooded other races.

Another controversial adoption topic is informed consents to adoption by the mothers and fathers who are surrendering their children. The baby scoop era was full of forced surrenders and horrifying accounts of women being drugged, babies being drugged and never given the opportunity to stay together as a family on the pretense of protecting us from the social stigma of children born out of wedlock. The present industry has developed a different type of coercion of pregnant girls and women. (Books: "The Girls Who Went Away" by Ann Fessler and "The Baby Thief" by Barbara Raymond).

Women aren't being given informed consents to adoption. They are being told that two parents are better than one mother. They're not being told of infant trauma caused from loss of mother. They're not being told about sealed records for the adoptee decreasing chances of reunion, nor are they being told that open adoptions aren't even enforceable by law. They're being told how wonderful, heroic, and beautiful they are for considering adoption at one of the lowest points of their lives. The only support these women are getting is support to see that the pregnancy continues to delivery and then placing the child with the adoptive parents. There is really no actual emotional support for the mother. It is deception and unfortunately by the time our mothers realize this, it's too late because revocation periods are usually less than 30 days.

Many unnecessary separations are taking place to fulfill the demand of newborn white infants. Not only is this terrible, but it's taking the focus off of the children who REALLY need loving homes. There are over 100,000 children in foster care today who desperately need and want a home. They need stability, security, love, food, clothing and support so that one day they can go on and take care of themselves in the world. Foster care adoptions cost next to nothing in most states. But there aren't waiting lists for foster kids or children of any color except white.

A lot needs to be changed in adoption. The industry in America is in dire need of bulldozing and complete reconstruction. While Australia's system of adoption isn't' perfect, we could definitely learn a lot from them. No matter where you stand on adoption and adoption issues, the first five years of a child's life are critical to their learning abilities, emotional development, and personality. The optimal circumstances for the child must be addressed as soon after birth as possible. A child can't wait for society to get it right.

The court will want the name and last known address of the father. They will post a Notice in the local paper where he supposedly lives. If he doesn't respond within the time limit the adoption can take place.

Lots of reasons

It's a tough job for the foster parents; kids that come in sometimes have a big load of baggage with them. You get 6 year olds who have enough sexual experience to make the foster parents blush. You've got kids that have a hard time trusting because of all of the broken promises. You have kids who have learned to steal and lie to survive. You have kids who have never seen a functional family and don't know how to react once they start seeing one. It's next to impossible to get solid information about what the kids have gone through.

On the flip side, some foster parents are no better (or even worse) than the bad homes that the kids have left. Some of them abuse (physically, emotionally, sexually) the kids in their care. Some of them are in it for the money, and deliberately shortchange the kids to make more money.

If a father's name is on the birth certificate that does not make him a legal guardian, it makes him a father. The two are technically different. In this state a father can have guardianship without establishing it. A father can be forced to pay child support while a guardian can not.

Not until they have reached the adult age in their state or country, usually 18.

I would think it would be babies and toddlers only because many birth mother can not take care of their child and or weren't expecting a child

There has to be a good reason for you not to be under the care of your parent. If she supplies you with everything you legally need and doesn't abuse you (by the law) then you can't divorce her. At a legal age you could leave your mother but by then you are already independent. If you mother does't want you then your grandparents can adopt you.
