How do you date your friends mom?
You shouldn't date your friend's mom. Most likely, doing so would very much upset the friend and cause bad feelings for everyone involved.
Cost of giving your baby up for adoption?
100000 dollars dot including the room decs.
No, so not true! Its does NOT cost 100,000 dollars to adopt! It can cost as little as 5,000 dollars! Adopting a child will cost 5,000 to 30,000 dollars (doesn't include the basics such as feeding them, giving them water, clothes, etc.) If you want to adopt a child who is currently in a different country, then it will cost a couple thousand dollars more. Adopting is a great idea! I suggest a fundraiser to help get the money!
How do you reverse an adoption in Arkansas?
I am sorry that you are going through this stressful time right now in your life. Let me tell you what I would do. I would pray about this and it seems that you have. Then I would go to the adoption agency where I adopted the child and see if they can help me reverse the adoption. Or I would call a lawyer to help me out. If you are the parent that gave the child up for adoption and you want your child back, I would call a lawyer. I wish you all the luck in the world. Good luck and God Bless:)

Can a parent make a 13 year old give their baby up for adoption?
In some states when you become pregnant it takes the choice away from the parent. In some cases, doctors arent allowed to tell the mother or father that the child is pregnant. Where I live when a teen becomes pregnant, that teen then has the right to apply for benefits on their own independent of their parent. Best thing to do if you are unsure is to call your local health department. You can ask them and never tell them your name. Each state is different.
AnswerThere are not states where an underage mother can be forced to relinquish her rights to her child in any manner. She cannot be forced to have an abortion, place the child for adoption or sign over her custodial rights. In some instances the court may intervene to the extent that the mother and child are under family services supervision for a period of time. The court WILL NOT take a child from the biological parent unless there is clear and indisputable proof that the child has suffered abuse or neglect. The young mother has the same legal rights to her child as does an adult, regardless of what her parents or anyone other than a court of law may prefer. The young lady might wish to contact Birthright 1-800-550-4900, http://www.birthright.org, or Planned Parenthood, 1-800-230-7526, http://www.plannedparenthood.org, for assistance in finding medical care, legal aid and any other help that may be needed. AnswerTHE LAWS in your state probably address this issue from a legal standpoint.However, I think the real issue is "forcing daughter to put child up for adoption". If need be, they both should see a good therapist. The mother needsto see the daughters viewpoint and wishes, HOWEVER the daughter needs to heed the advice of someone older and wiser, and knows the whole situation- finances;place to live; the level of responsibility of the girl; the whole family dynamic; etc... It may be the case that this the best choice/option for all involved. However, if the mother is just being arbitrary and controlling, then I think the daughter should explore her legal standing and rights. The BEST thing that could happen is for both the mother and daughter to work it out as a family because trying to "force" someone to make such an important decision isnot going to work out well for anyone involved.How long does it take to get your period after getting your cherry poped?
Not at all. Congratulations! You're pregnant!
What should you do if you are 14 and pregnant?
If you are scared to tell your parents, then talk to another responsible adult - one that will tell you WHY YOU ARE VERY WRONG TO EVEN CONSIDER IT. This is not trying to preach to you or judge you - it's just looking at the cold, hard facts. Having a baby at 14 is an extreme risk to your health - it can literally kill you. According to UNFPA and the World Health Organization, girls age 15 through 19 are twice as likely to die during pregnancy or child birth as those over age 20; girls under age 15 are five times more likely to die. Even if it doesn't kill you it can cause permanent health problems. That doesn't even begin to cover all the economic and social problems that will result.
==========
Wouldn't you want to wait until you're older? I'm your age, and there is no way I could raise a child. By having a child, you are giving up your teenage social life because you won't have time. You will not get as much sleep. Your grades will suffer. Also, remember that while babies are cute, they also grow up to be moody and act up. Do you want to be responsible for the growth of someone else while you are still growing?
If you are 'thinking' about having a baby at 14, you are not thinking! How are you going to pay for a baby? Not to mention how are you going to pay for your support for the rest of your life? Going to find free child care so you can finish middle school and then go to high school so you can hope to have something better than a minimum wage job?
Not to mention sexual intercourse at such a young age is illegal. In most States it is statutory rape and in others it is illegal sexual contact.
ANSWERWhy do you want to have a baby now your only 14 you have the rest of your life for that. Having a baby is a huge commitment that should not be taken lightly. A baby will look to you for everything--and babies need constant love and nurturing for their brain to grow properly. How are you going to support it as your not even entitled to state benefits at your age? You should definitely wait until you have finished school settled down with the right person and have accommodation and a regular income of your own. In the meantime I suggest you visit your doctor for the contraceptive pill.Reasons not to have a baby at 14:
- Babies need constant attention and loving care - which you are NOT mature enough to provide
- They need it from YOU, and they need a full-time father, too. Your parents ARE NOT your baby-sitting service!
- If you have a baby your education will suffer. You may still go to school, but once it is at home that baby is your responsibility and then you will have to fit time into your heavy schedule to study for tests at school.
- You will no longer be free to hang out with your girlfriends; go to movies whenever you want or parties. You're face will be pressed up against that window of your parent's home watching all the other kids you know have a fun time, while you are at home looking after your baby as well as keeping your studies up. Without an education you can't get a good enough job to bring up your baby.
- Babies are not dolls! You don't just take them off the shelf, dust them off and play with them. Babies need 24/7 care and you are selfish to think that your parents should pick up the slack while you are at school (the responsibility will probably lay 100% on your mother.)
- Babies get colic; fevers, diarrhea, go off their food, can cry through the night, vomit (you'll be changing a lot of diapers and changing the baby's clothing more than you will ever know.) You just can't let the baby cry. They need you to respond to their needs, this is an important developmental period for their brain. Sometimes you will need to watch them all night long when they are sick. What are you going to do if your baby is ill? Expect your parents to pay for the medical bills? Your boyfriend is either your age or perhaps a year or two older so he won't be financially sound enough to provide medical help for the baby which is very expensive.
- It is not right to knowingly get pregnant at your age (mistakes do happen) and expect tax payers to pick up the tab should your parents not want to look after a baby ... did you ever think of that!
- If your boyfriend doesn't know you want a baby then it's wrong to get pregnant on purpose without discussing it with him. He may think it's a great idea, but you'll soon find out that once that baby is born and you both realize what a tough road is ahead of you he may well leave the situation and being so young he won't be able to support you or the baby and the stress and added expense will land on your parent's shoulders. As for any dreams you have had for your life? Forget them. You won't have time to work toward them until your child has grown.
Generally when a young person wants to have a baby they feel they are not loved as much as they should be ... something is missing and so they feel they can transfer their love onto a baby that will love them back. Having children is a wonderful thing and child birth a miracle in itself, but not when you are a child yourself. You are not mentally or physically prepared to give birth and raise a child.
Please go onto the Internet and learn more about parenthood and what all the responsibilities are that go with it. Learn from chats (such as Wiki s here under teen pregnancies) what other young teens say about having a baby too soon. Most wish they'd never gotten pregnant.
You are a fine young person and I'm betting you are smarter than this. Now that some of us have given our views on this subject and you read the experiences of others under 'teen pregnancy' on Wiki s that you'll be smart enough to wait until you are older. Don't waste your young life and enjoy your teen years because they go by so quickly. Once your teen years are over reality sets in and statistically speaking about 50 - 60 years of reality shoved up your nose. Don't blow it by getting pregnant!
Can you get pregnant at age nine?
Generally, no. To be able to get pregnant you have to have a period. Most 9 year old`s don't hit puberty. There are rare cases, but these are rare. If you are having sex, my bet is that it is with an older person. If this is true go get help. Tell someone. This is sexual abuse and this person needs to be locked up.
And it is really bad to be having sex at such a young age! If i didn't know better I would say "You should wait til you get married (or find Mr/Mrs Right). Don't be in such a rush. Your time will come, but later is probably the safest."
Can one adopt an 18-year-old in Texas?
As far as I'm aware, Texas allows adult adoptions; you should check with an attorney.
Do Mexican citizens adopt Mexican children?
yes but international adoptions are very expensive and complicated and you may have your life investigated in depth - financially, where your living, you character etc, you need to consider this before deciding to adopt.
Can you change your birth certificate back to your biological parent after being adopted?
While it is possible to change a child's birth date, it requires proof of some kind. Frequently this happens with kids adopted from overseas, whose actual birth dates are not known. A "best guess" birth date ends up on the kid's papers, and sometimes later some more information comes to light (e.g. the kid's doctor says "Hey, this kid's not 4, he's 8!") and then the parents will pursue changing the date.
How many children are waiting to be adopted a year?
More than 1 million people/parents want children that can't have them. It's very sad, but adoption is available.

In Illinois how do you sign over parental rights to a non family member?
Both biological parents will need to file a Termination of Parental Rights petition with the court that has jurisdiction. If the TPR is granted, the individual who wishes to become the legal guardian or adopt the minor child must also follow the legal procedure as required by the state in which the minor child is a resident.
What state has the worst foster care system?
The State of Georgia places at 43rd in the United States as doing what is right by the children in their care.They had action taken against them by "Childrights" of the State of New York and put into place regulations that would protect the children in their care and have failed miserably to meet the regulations, year after year.
How do you get visitation rights after adoption?
The first thing is there an order set up by the judge for there to be visitations? If so, and you are not getting the visits with your child then you need to contact the court and file a motion for contempt of the visitation order. They will schedule a hearing and may issue a new order. After repeated times of the other parent denying you visits they can lose custody.
Reasons to put kids up for adoption?
Because you feel this is the best decsion and you know that you will be happy and it will help your life in a good way and this needs to be your decsion not somebody elses. So don't do it because sombody asks you. Be sure you think ahead at what will happen in the future and that future will make you happy and if not don't do it.
How does parental mother relinquish her rights to father and step mother for step mother adoption?
A person cannot force a parent to relinquish his or her rights to their minor children, only a court can permanently terminate parental rights. A biological parent can file a petition for the Voluntary Termination of Parental Rights in state court in the city or county where they live. The judge decides if the petition should be granted based upon what is best for the child or children that are involved. Another option to consider, go to the State Welfare office and ask to have his alimony and/or child support paid directly to them and have THEM issue the check. Men tend to be a little more punctual when they know the State is looking over their shoulder.
Can a foster child choose which family to go to. Even if the family isn't related?
It depends on the state, however most states are the same considering Fosterhomes. The child may not pick a family to go to. A family that would want to take in the child may go through a process of home studys and background checks to be eligible to legally take the child in. However, if the family is already a foster parent they can tell the local Social Service they want this child in their home and it can happen immediatly due to the fact they already have all training and are fully prepared for any child in the state. If the family is out of state , that family will have to go under a long process of an interstate compact. The only way a child may go live with family is if you agree ,upon the social worker asking you and do the procedures, or if you make the request and do the procedures. Same thing with unsupervised visits. Hope this helps!
If parental rights are still in effect does a parent have a legal right to see his or her child?
A parent is the biological or legally adoptive mother or father. If you have lost custody of your child you are still the child's parent in that sense. If you have allowed your child to be legally adopted you may not be in their life but you are still their parent in that sense. In a legal sense you can no longer make any decisions for the child and have no parental rights.
You need to see a lawyer. Look for "Legal Aid" in your state as they offer free or low-cost legal advice.
If someone is the "biological" father, he doesn't adopt the child, it is his child. He is legally obligated (in the USA) to provide support (money) for the child's needs. The only exception is if the mother was married to another man at the time of the birth, then legally the husband is considered the baby's father (even if everyone knows and admits that the other man is the baby's biological father).
If you're asking whether the biological father can be forced to take care of the child in his own house, the answer is "no" he can give up his parental rights to the child.
If you're asking whether the biological father can take the child away from the mother and her boyfriend/husband, the answer is "maybe" if he can PROVE to a court that the baby's mother is unfit and he (the biological father) is a better parent.
If the father WANTS to be involved in the baby's life even though the mother has a new boyfriend/husband, the father MUST be allowed to have visitation with his child. Not allowing him to see the child may cause the courts to consider the mother not fit to raise the child.
Again, GET LEGAL ADVICE from a lawyer.
Can a child be taken from a parent and placed in foster care without proving the parent unfit?
I think that is up to the social worker to decide. First they have to see what the reasons are you try to get rid of your child. I would be very careful with this since you might not be able to get them back and your relationship will clearly never be the same. We fight with out parents the most because we know they have our back and loves us unconditionally.
Who was hera's foster parents?
Oceanus and Tethys (the son and daughter of Uranus and Gaia); both were titans, aquatic sea god/goddess, invoked in classical Greek poetry but not venerated in cult.
Can a parent disown an adopted child?
Assuming "disown" means the parent wants to give up his or her obligation to a minor child, then it is sometimes possible.
The parent wanting to voluntarily give up parental rights can file a Termnation of Parental Rights petition in the probate court in the county and state where they live.
If "disown" means to leave the child out of one's will then of course it is possible. There aren't laws which force anyone upon their demise to leave assets or property to children or other persons.
The exception being property that automatically reverts to a surviving spouse under state marital law.
