The act of officially adopting is called "Finalization"
This is when the judge signs the adoption order, and you gain permanent legal custody of the child.

I understand your frustration and fears about raising another child. I certainly can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you what I did when I had an unplanned child: I kept him and, despite financial difficulties, have never regretted it for a second. I can't imagine life without him (he's 13 now). The question you might ask yourself is this: Is financial security a higher priority than raising this child myself? (Okay, some may think that is harsh and will say it is actually a selfless decision to give up a child to a family who could probably provide better financially, but this is my opinion nonetheless.) And don't forget about the option of financial assistance available to low income parents. If you live in the U.S., you may qualify for W.I.C. assistance for formula and food for the child until he's 5. And then there's foodstamps and other government assistance.

I know that are many people have discovered they have a sibling that was put up for adoption. I understand the range of emotions that this news brings forth. I have so many questions myself. I have been searching for over two years now for a sister that was put up for adoption in Odessa Texas. We think that she was born the end of 1949 or the beginning months of 1950 at the Gettins Clinic. She might not even know that she was adopted. I have learned a great deal about finding people. During my search I have helped several people find their loved ones. This has made all the time, money, and hard work worth while. If you need help let me know. I would like to help if I can. Sometimes it is impossible to find a family member as I have found, other times it's much easier than you think. LIN nilesnick@hotmail.com
This question does not contain enough information to be answered. Who are you wanting to adopt? and WHY did you put this question in Bible Statistics and History, and Comparitive Denominations?

How can an older sibling have a younger sibling live with them in case of bad family circumstances?
To legally have your sibling stay with you, you may need to consult an attorney and get paperwork drawn up. This is the safest way to make sure the sibling is able to stay with you.
I'd advise you to go to a family law attorney in your state and discuss the situation, rather than attempt to handle it yourself. Let your lawyer handle all communications with the father of your child and his spouse.
Do grandchildren get benefits if grandfather was in military?
No, the only way grandchildren can get benefits is if the grandparents have legal guardianship of them, as if they were their own children.
Can a judge overturn an adoption if the biological mother rights were abused?
Yes but the burden of proof will be completely on the mother. It will be very costly too. I know of a woman right now fighting the same fight 3years and well over 200,000 dollars later and she still doent think she will win. Sorry hope this helps
In relation to computers - In word-processing, it's when a paragraph of text is split over two pages, causing a large chunk (the widow) to be on one page and a smaller chunk (the orphan) on the other. Word-processors usually have a menu option to allow or forbid widows and orphans. This means any paragraph that splits because of the need for a page break, is pushed onto the the next page - leaving a gap at the bottom of the previous one.
Is an adopted child still called a stepchild?
No!
Once a child is adopted they are legally the child of the adoptive parents. The only way that child could be a step-child is if the adoptive parents divorce and the custodial parent re-marries. Then the child becomes a step-child to the new parent.
Who are Brian Westbrook's Parents?
I was raiseds in Baltimore Md and there was a family of Westbrooks that I became close to in childhood...All of them were athletic...Magellan, Bernard, Fred,and I think there were two sisters...Anyway, since Brian Westbrook went to school in the area I was just wondering if he was related to those Westbrooks...The truth is I swear he is the carbon copy of Bernard Westbrook; which I strongly believe to be his father.
You have to call 911 or go see them, look on a website but you might have to pay, one ohter way is to go to the police and tell them there first and last name

Can a 20 year old adopt a 17 year old who is turning 18 in a month?
A ThoughtWhy adopt in this case? It's a complicated bureaucratic procedure, and in most countries it involves detailed scrutiny of you, your lifestyle and also your income. I'd suggest that when he/she reaches the age of majority you simply take the (now) 17-year-old into your home and look after him/her, assuming that's what the person really wants and assuming you have the money for this and suitable accommodation .
Fees and cost. You will pay more in a private agency than a state-funded agency. State-funding provides alot of the extra fees so that your cost is minimal (if any).
Age of the child. A child in a state-funded agency is more likely to be within the ages of 3-12. Where as private agencies are more likely to have a better chance of getting an infant-3 years.
Abuse. State-funded agencies typically have children that have been abused in some sense. State-funded agencies like Child Protective Services(CPS in many states) is designed to help children that are abused. Private agencies have a lot more funding (your money) to find mothers and pregnant women simply unable to provide for their children.
Also, State-funded agencies such as CPS are not designed to take kids away from families, but rather to help families with problems to resolve issues and provide for the children. If in cases where this isn't possible, then and only then do they seek adoption for the child(ren).
Who has burial rights on a grave if deceased eldest child of the deceased has also died?
Burial sites are typicaly property just like anything else. The issue would be determeined by the laws of the State of residence of the original owner, either through their will, or the intestate law statute
Can a US citizen adopt an illegal immigrant?
No.
The person must be under the age of 14 and must be certified as an orphan or the parents must have voluntarily relinquished their rights to the child, and must have entered the US legally.
The exception is if the minor qualifies as an asylee or refugee.
Not so fast. The correct Answer is: it depends on the law of each "sovereign" state of the United States. In certain states like NY you can actually adopt an adult even if they've illegally entered the US. You can pose this question to different attorney's and I assure you that you'll get multiple answers, including "no". Always ask an attorney who specializes in family law; more specifically in adoptions.
Footnote: when the adoption is complete in NY a new Birth Certificate will be issued stating the foreign city and country of his birth, and it will clearly state "NOT A US CITIZEN".
