Up to what age can a child be adopted?
A child can generally be adopted at any age, but the process and requirements may vary depending on the laws of the specific country or state.

Additionally, the adoption must be recognized under UK law, and the legal process can vary in complexity based on individual circumstances. It is advisable to consult with an adoption attorney or agency experienced in international adoptions to navigate the process effectively.

How can an American citizen who is currently a resident of Kenya adopt a child from Ethiopia?
The American citizen residing in Kenya should contact the U.S. embassy in Kenya for guidance on international adoption processes. They will need to comply with adoption laws in both Kenya and Ethiopia, which often involve legal procedures, background checks, and home studies. Additionally, working with an adoption agency experienced in international adoptions can provide valuable support throughout the process.
What is The internal working model?
The internal working model is how we view/what we believe about ourselves, others and the world. It influences what we expect of and from ourselves, others and the world in general and directs how we respond. It begins to form as soon as we are born and is based on experiences with others and the outcomes of our efforts.
An infant that experiences frequent abuse or neglect can develop a negative internal working model that "says" no one cares about me, I am unlovable, people who are suppose to love me only hurt or reject me, it doesn't matter what I do or say it is ineffective or not good enough, I can't trust people as one time they are nice and the next time they are mean. etc. If this "model" of self, others and the world and how things work is not corrected the result may be a child or adult that has low self-esteem, is overly dependent or independent, overreacts to situations, sabotages relationships, jobs and/successes, gives up easily, etc. Or an infant that receives consistent, responsive, attuned nurturing from his/her caregivers is most likely to develop a positive internal working model.
Great question!
Oppositional defiance is a medical condition that can usually be corrected with behavior management. In extreme cases doctors can prescribe drugs to control a child's behavior.
When one child is oppositional and your other children are not it can be difficult however spending "alone" time with each child helps, knowing the difference between when your oppositional child is being oppositional and when they are misbehaving. Having consistency for punishment throughout the household. Not treating the ODD as a disorder but a way of life helps too. When one child in the family has ODD it affects the whole family and therefore the whole family needs to work on behaviour modification and adjusting their lives to know what to expect and what role they play when there is an episode that occurs.
How many kids are adopted easch year?
On average, around 135,000 children are adopted in the United States each year. This number can vary annually depending on various factors, such as changes in adoption laws, international adoption trends, and societal attitudes towards adoption.
The cost of adopting a child varies widely based on factors like the type of adoption (domestic, international, foster care), agency fees, legal fees, travel expenses, and any additional services needed. On average, domestic adoptions can range from $20,000 to $50,000, while international adoptions can cost upwards of $30,000 to $50,000 or more. Foster care adoptions generally have lower costs, often subsidized by the state. It's important to research and budget carefully when considering adoption.
Can a 25 years old adult be adopted by a US citizen who is her aunt?
Yes, it is possible for a 25-year-old adult to be adopted by a US citizen who is her aunt. Adoption laws vary by state, so it would be necessary to consult with an attorney who specializes in adoption to understand the specific requirements and process in the relevant state. Additionally, the adoption process for an adult is typically different from that of a minor.
Can your 19 year old sister adopt you?
No, legally a sibling cannot adopt another sibling unless there are specific circumstances or legal arrangements in place. In general, adoption is a legal process that involves the transfer of parental rights from one individual or couple to another individual or couple who are not biologically related.
Is a 45 year old woman too old for a 35 year old man?
Yes, it can work. I was very much in love with a man at the same ages, but he had a heart attack and ended the relationship because of it. Realize that this would happen when the ages are that large. Another thought is that with that gap in ages as he gets older he may want to do less and retire.
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 you can play good volleyball?

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.Were can you get help for a sociopath child?
== == And if you possibly can, find someone trained by Dr. Robert Hare of Canada; he has developed a specialized type of therapy that will help child psychopaths (sociopaths) veer off the destructive path and have the best life the illness allows!
See his BOOK, "Without Conscience," available at online bookshops, and you'll be able to understand much more.
Until a child has been tested and evaluated by a professional, do not place a label on a child. Perhaps he/she is NOT truly a psychopath - He/she may have other things going on. Let a learned, experienced and TRAINED professional decide! TAKE THE CHILD TO SEE A CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST OR CHILD PSYCHIATRIST. It may take several or many visits to properly diagnose a mental problem, disease or disorder. Your observations, comments and experiences with the child will certainly be of great value in the final diagnosis, of course. I have nothing to do with any sort of mental health occupation, but I know parents, teachers, family members and friends are NOT trained PROFESSIONALS, so WE can't decide! SHOP AROUND for someone you feel has enough experience with the age group you are targeting. If YOU feel comfortable talking with the person, and see he/she has the potential to "connect" with the child, then you have found the right person. If you feel at all uneasy, or feel no progress or feedback is happening, MOVE ON. FIND SOMEONE ELSE. Some are better than others. Go with your gut feeling...It will usually be RIGHT! Good luck!
NEW INFORMATION:
It is now known that it can be diagnosed in childhood, since the underlying brain dysfunction is present at birth.
It was up until very recently believed that children cannot be diagnosed as psychopaths; the newest research, recently published, says that it starts in the womb. The condition is inborn and, so far, incurable. But neuroscience will almost certainly be able to develop some way of compensating for and even partially correcting this terrible condition with the use of computer chips and other artificial implants in the brain, and as well a certain type of specialized inpatient therapy geared to awakening as much as is possible in the person as soon as the condition is diagnosed.
One of the problems with anything wrong with one's central nervous system is that if it's severe and pervasive enough, it can interfere with the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems as well. In psychopaths, such maladies as what was once called neurasthenia (a state of unnatural sedation) or epilepsy (seizure disorders) are far more frequent than in the general population. Many people who are not psychopaths have some of the more than 100 forms of peripheral neuropathy, but some of these may be more common in psychopaths.
The autonomic nervous system, which prepares the body for emergencies (fight-or-flight) is erratic and inefficient in a psychopath, which can, in some situations, lead to fatal accidents; human beings have adrenaline for a reason, and the sympathetic nervous system of a true psychopath is sluggish and cannot sustain arousal for long. (In Borderline Personality Disorder, the problem is the opposite: the sympathetic nervous system responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!)
Aside from this is the fact that a true psychopath has an extremely peculiar brainwave pattern: while awake, their brain waves most resemble a hybrid of normal waking brain waves and alpha-level sleep waves. And they often tend to sleep deeply.
Emotionally, they are cold, detached, distant, and yet deeply resentful of normal people. They know they're missing something, and often spend most of their typically short, tragic lives avenging themselves on others for what they cannot ever enjoy. So they are not truly emotionless, but they do not love, do not know true joy, and are hostile and destructive.
This ISN'T the work of the Devil; it's Nature gone horribly awry. ANYTHING THAT CAN DAMAGE THE DEVELOPING NERVOUS-SYSTEM IN A FETUS OR VERY YOUNG CHILD CAN CAUSE OR SEVERELY EXACERBATE THIS CONDITION.
THAT INCLUDES STREET DRUGS, ALCOHOL, and even SMOKING!!!
It also includes some medications; check with your obstetrician before taking anything at all during your pregnancy!
During delivery, using a forceps to grasp the baby's head should be avoided if at all possible. Any touching of the area over the FONTANEL (soft spot on top of the baby's head) must be done with caution until the fontanel has closed.
Any head injury that causes dizziness -- even without loss of consciousness -- should be treated as a medical emergency.
And another thing: NEVER SHAKE YOUR BABY!!! NO MATTER WHAT!
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.
Is there an international passport?
Usually your passport depends on your citizenship. If you are a citizen of your country, lets say the USA then you have a US passport. You can also have a dual passport, depending on your citizenship again. You might be a naturalized citizen in one country and a citizen by birth in another.
Sometimes, people working for the United Nations or a related organization may have passports issued by the UN.
