Adoption

i don't know which amendment deals freedom of expression but the first amendment deals with freedom of speech which i very similar

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

You MUST ask an attorney in the state where the adoption took place.

There are too many variables...

how old was mother?

how long ago did this take place?

where did this take place?

Don't bother writing back with the answers. I'm not an attorney and even an attorney on this site would need to ask you TONS of questions and do some investigating. This is a VERY SPECIALIZED problem requiring an EXPERT.

Google "Free Legal Advice in xxxxx" and put the name of your state in place of the xxxxx. You will be directed to attorneys who can get you started on answering your questions at no cost or low-cost to you.

your question is rather stupid! u dont make sense

Lack of understanding and love adoption because in-compatibility arises only due to different thinking and differences in their hearts.

A woman who adopts a child becomes that child's "mother".

Personality Traits

Open adoption allows identifying information to be communicated between adoptive and biological parents and, perhaps, interaction between kin and the adopted person. Rarely, it is the outgrowth of laws that maintain an adoptee's right to unaltered birth certificates and/or adoption records, but such access is not universal (it is possible in a few jurisdictions - including the U.K. and six States in the U.S.). More often, open adoption is an informal arrangement subject to termination by adoptive parents who have sole authority over the child (in some jurisdictions, the biological and adoptive parents may enter into a binding agreement concerning visitation, exchange of information, or other interaction regarding the child, however).

Open adoptions are not legally enforceable. Once the papers are signed, it's up to the new parents. Most agencies don't tell the birth parents that fact until afterwards and not all parents keep their promise.

The practice of closed adoption, the norm for most of modern history, seals all identifying information, maintaining it as secret and barring disclosure of the adoptive parents', biological kins', and adoptees' identities. Nevertheless, closed adoption, may allow the transmittal of non-identifying information such as medical history and religious and ethnic background. Today, as a result of safe haven laws passed by some U.S. states, closed adoption is seeing renewed influence. In safe-haven states, infants can be left, anonymously, at hospitals, fire departments, or police stations within a few days of birth, a practice criticized by some adoptee advocacy organizations as being retrograde and dangerous.

You check with your area's social services. You see a lawyer. You have the baby declared abandoned and neglected. You petition to adopt. The lawyer can tell you what hoops to jump through and forms to sigh.

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.

That depends on the state. Yes in Missouri.

see my profile

Minors are not allowed to adopt.

i belive so...i think it depends on your age and the reason...im not sure exactly...if you have any more questions email...adopted.child.pjw@gmail.com

In most cases you age out of the system when you are 18 years old. But some children have to stay in the states care until they are 21 for certain reasons.

I believe that you have to be 18 to do that

you could give a small gift for the 12 year old like a itunes card or a teddy

Or if it is a boy a racing car or toy soldiers

Answer-

I think both questions are basically the same, but need an answer from a different angle. FIRST off- You don't just get "put in foster care", no matter WHAT is going on. In the case of alcoholic parents, there first has to be credible evidence for an agency to OPEN a case and investigate to start with. (It may be CPS; child protective services, or DCF; dept. of children & families) depending on what state you live in. THEN, the investigating agency must determine if there is neglect and/or abuse. THEN, depending on how bad it is, they could recommend parent training classes with intervention help from the agency ( that's one of many jobs I've held, working with children) or they could decide to remove the child/children. If the parents show vast improvement over time, the child/children usually go back with biological parents. If it's found to be really really bad, the agency could go to court to sever relationship between parent & child permanently ...again, depending on a lot of factors...most states and state agencies want to keep children with family, PLUS, foster homes are bursting at the seams, and good honest people aren't exactly breaking down the doors of the agencies to become foster families, which is truly unfortunate. Plus, the grass always looks greener in someone elses yard. I'm not trying to say that some kids (many kids) don't have it really bad at home, but a really good, happy, loving foster home is a rare find. Believe me, I've been in this field for many years and can count on one hand the GREAT foster homes I've been fortuneate to know.

Has to be approved by the court and cannot be owed Welfare.

No, honey, and it doesn't matter which state you are in. Your biological mother has no jurisdiction in the matter and, in fact, has no more legal control over you than does any other adult. The father who chose you and adopted you is your parent. Your biological mother, sadly, relinquished that a while back. It is fine that she wants you in her life, and fine that you also would like to be there. But she cannot override the person who is your legal parent. If you are seventeen, all you have is one more year--or less--and you can decide to live anywhere you want. Since I cannot know the nature of all of these relationships roiling around you, otherwise I have no idea what you should do. I cannot tell you in whose house you might more enjoy living. I don't know. I can tell you, you do not have much longer until you can find out on your own. Good Luck.

The mother (the teen whatever) would have to locate a local adoption center and see the state/city's process for adoption.

There are many benefits to adoption.

First for the biological parents they know that their child is safe and will be raised in a stable environment that they alone couldn't provide.

Most adoptive parents (the ones adopting the child) can not have children of their own and adopting allows them to raise and love a child like their own. Also the adoptive parents may be able to have a mixed family that is one that has a combination of biological and adopted children.

The child that is adopted gets many benefits, one of which is being raised in a loving home. If the child was adopted in an open adoption they may be able to keep in contact with their biological family.

A benefit I have experienced as an adopted child is that I get to share my experience and memory of being adopted with other adopted kids.

at times yes but usually if the noncustodial parent does want to see the child they will be denied visitation rights and not be allowed to see the child

No you can't.

{| |- | Yes, you can. Florida has an emancipation statute. The current guardian has to file the petition. |}

There are many many step you will have to go through to adopt a child. You must be working and stable with a stable home. Adoption Agencies come out and do home studies and back ground checks on the people who are adopting a child. Also they look to see if you have a criminal record too. Usually you go through a attroney who charges a fee to do all the legal work for you,that could cost a good bit up into the thousands of dollars. Some say that is not true but it is,money will always exchange hands when it comes to adopting a child unless a family just signs the child over to a family member or good friend,friend of the family etc. So unless you can provide everything the agency needs in order for you to adopt through them don't expect to receive a child. Most agencies do charge as well as lawyers.
