Where can you find birth certicate for 1874?

Birth Certificates were not issued in 1874. In some, but not all, places, births were recorded in ledgers, one line per birth. These were created by town clerks or by priests. Some are in the national or regional archives of the countries in which they were created, some are in church archives or in the original church, and many have been destroyed over the more than 125 years since 1874.

Can you still adopt a child if you dropped out of high school and you want to raise the child being a single parent?

I think that this depends on the state you reside in. I can not see how dropping out of high school should affect this unless you are not a legal adult (in which case you wouldn't be able to adopt anyway). As long as you can raise a child in a safe environment I see no reason (single or married) that you can't adopt a child. Check with your city or state about their adoption laws.

Is gypsum a renewable resource?

No, gypsum is not a renewable resource. What is in the ground and what we've already mined is all there is.

How can you allow visitation by the biological father with his child who has been adopted by the spouse of the child's biological mother?

There are no laws that would prevent the child from vistation with her biological father as long as her custodial parents agree. The biological father has no legal grounds to seek vistation or custody if the adoption were done according to the laws of the state in which it occurred. Visitation must be voluntarily agreed to by the custodial parents and the child under the terms that they establish. The visitation rights can also be withdrawn by the custodial parent(s) if and whenever they so choose. It would be in the best interest of those involved for the custodial parents to establish guidelines (boundaries) before visitation is allowed.

How do adopted children find their birth parents?

One of the best ways to do this is to file a "Petition to Break the Seal of Adoption." Once the legal seal is broken (the fee to do this yourself - known as "Pro Se" in the legal world - is around $100) you can then get a copy of your original birth certificate with your birth parents names. There will be a fee for that also, usually about $50. You will need to contact the courthouse where you were adopted (search for Family court, not criminal court - they are in different buildings in most states). Once you have the names of your birth parents, you can begin searching for them. If you are fortunate to live (be adopted in) the states of Kansas or Alaska, then there is no seal, so it is easier to get the original birth certificate. Most of the paperwork you have to file requires you to be the adopted person yourself. Unless you are an attorney, you can almost never do this for someone else. Lawyers usually charge anywhere from $2000 and up. So it probably is a good idea to do a lot of research and go "Pro Se." As I write this I am working on it myself. You probably have to be at least 18 years old. Also the paperwork and laws vary greatly - not just from state to state - but also because of the year you were adopted. Ask the Family court what forms you need and what fees and payment are required, and get them notarized. Some require you to put down a reason. The most common are to check for medical history or to establish contact. I would go with the "medical history" reason because it sounds more official, and who knows - you may actually find some medical information that could come in handy. I hope it works out for you. - Bruce S.

Can someone comment on how good is GPS over RFID?

This will really all depend on what you are looking to do. GPS is a satellite based system that will pinpoint exactly where something is anywhere in the world. RFID is basically a system that can track an RF tag that is within reach of an RF reader.

There are so many different variations to these systems that it is impossible to say that one is preferable to the other without knowing exactly what needs to be done with the technologies.

What is the procedure for your husband to adopt your unborn child from a previous relationship?

It can be very complicated depending upon the laws of the state in which the couple reside and whether or not the biological father disagrees with the adoption. If the child is a result of an affair during the marriage, the court rarely intervenes if the husband accepts the child as his own, even if the biological father files for parental rights. If the child was conceived out of a relationship before the woman married, then no action can be taken until the child is born, parentage is established and the biological father voluntarily relinquishes his parental rights. If the biological father forfeits his rights to the child, the couple can petition the court for the husband to legally adopt said child. A biological parent CANNOT be forced to give up his parental rights to a child except by a court when it pertains to matters of abuse, neglect, etc. Please be advised, this is the basic legal procedure, exact information pertaining to the issue should be obtained from an attorney licensed to practice family law in the state where the couple reside.

If you are on disability and adopt your 13-year-old granddaughter will she draw a check off your disabilty and would she have to change her last name to receive a check off you?

I AM NOT sure from whom you get a disability check, but I have worked with disabled people for some years now, so I'll take a shot at trying to answer your question. Generally, your disability check would be for YOUR disability. I don't imagine your daughter (adopted granddaughter) receiving any of your disability check. The only things I see happening are: your granddaughter is disabled and receives a check. OR, since you are taking custody/guardianship of a minor, maybe you would get an increase in YOUR check, because you would now have a dependent. Whatever happens, her last name should not matter, as long as she lives with you, you are her legal guardian and she is your legal dependent. There is also a possibility of you receiving a stipend (sum of money) for adopting the child. You don't say where you get your disability checks from: a former employer, the state in which you live, or the federal government. You should probably pose the question you are asking to whom ever sends you your checks. I hope I have helped out!

Can an adopted child have the adoption invalidated when they become an adult?

The person is now an adult and therefore an adoption could not be "reversed' or expunged. The adult can change his or her name back to their birth name or to any other they might choose.

Your husband wants to adopt your child but he is not the biological father. The father's name is not on the birth certificate. What should you do?

It probably is the case then that he can do so without the biological father signing off. You would need to get some legal advice to follow up on adoption.

Clarification

The court will require information about the child's biological father and the mother will have to provide any information she has regarding the father's identity and whereabouts so that he can consent to the adoption. Suppressing that information, if it is available, can lead to terrible consequences for all parties concerned. The mother should consult with an attorney who specializes in adoptions.

How can an affidavit be amended such as an affidavit of paternity.?

You can only "amend" a paternity affidavit if you have a paternity test done to prove or disprove paternity... In many cases this is something that the state will do (ie of child support orders)

Can two separate families adopt children from a mother who can no longer support her children and wants to relinquish her rights?

THE VERY SIMPLE answer is yes. BUT...there are a lot of buts. If a parent wishes to give up or "relinquish parental rights", the state agency that handles foster care, adoptions, temporary placements etc... has to take into consideration what is best for the child (children). Generally, they look for relatives; aunts, uncles, grandparents, to keep the children in familiar family surroundings. If no relative can be found, then they look for foster families or adoptive families that can keep the children together. If that fails, they look for familes that will take some but not all the children. It is a very touchy situation, because any good agency will try and keep the kids together. Then of course the families that wish to adopt or foster, have to meet certain criterion, such as how big is their house, how many kids do they already have, how stable is the environment, are they licenced, are they financially able, the list goes on. In certain instances where the children are known to the folks that want to adopt, or both families are known to the children, the families know the mother and live in close proximity for schools, friends, doctors, social workers, then the agency may look favorably on the families wishing to adopt. I work in this field, and believe me, nothing is for sure. I commend you for wanting to help the children, as it is a BIG sacrafice with no absolutes. Please post again with an update. THANKS! Yes, they can. Just make sure you keep the children associated with one another with meetings and contact. Call a adoption agency too. * Maybe. First of all both parents must relinquish there parental rights or have them terminated by the court before minor children can be eligible for adoption. If the mother was unmarried at the time and a father has not been named, she will be required to convince the court that she does not know who the father of the children are or supply the name of the man she believes to be the father. If the father cannot be identified or found, then the court may move forward with the relinquishment of rights and adoption proceedings. If the mother was married the biological father must agree to the adoption. Assuming that both parents agree to the relinquishment of rights as noted in a previous response, that does not necessarily mean the potential adopting parents would be granted adoption rights and most certainly does not guarantee that a judge would allow the children to be separated.

Impacts of children growing up without parents?

they might be in a trauma, deppressed. They would wonder a lot of things and it would make them really sad to see other children with parents. THey might try commiting suicide. They give up on mostly anything sometimes. Though, some of the children, it could make them stronger if they see it in another way which isn't really common. They would be more independent, more understandable about things, could learn from their mistakes.

im Anthony and i have grown up without parents, its because they were heroin,meth,crack, and coke addicts and they were also alcoholics.I had a really good childhood i wasnt depressed until i was older because i realized what had happened because i didnt really didnt understand since i was so small and yes im suicidal, and

bi-polar(manic depressive) my age right now is 15 turning 16. i have really bad depression issues, to be honest with you i really don't like life or anybody in it cause i cant trust anyone because i constantly think theyre going to walk out on me just like my mom and dad did. Ive been in hospitals because of it. One more thing the reason why i have issues is because i have a really negative mind set everyday i think to myself well if my parents didnt want me who would, im there blood and flesh and they threw me away like a piece of garbage. I have a lot of more things to say lol but i don't want to waist your time. thanks for reading if you have anymore questions about it just message me =)

How do you open a closed adoption case?

Its nearly impossible to open a closed adoption, you would have to get a court order with probable cause to the information....like if you are sick and need your birthparents blood tested...or something like that. But the court must grant you the right to see the adoption records. That is the only way I know of.
