How can an adopted 18-year-old find their biological parents?
The best way to start would be by asking your adoptive parents if they know the names of your birth parents. If they don't, then ask them if they will help you find them. But before you begin this discussion with them, you have to know they may be upset by it, and may not want to talk about it. But this is a natural reaction with adoptive parents; they may feel you would only be hurt by trying to contact your birth parents.
If you're of legal age, then you can try searching for them on your own, without permission from your adoptive parents. There are many sites for finding people, but unless you know their names, that won't help you any. But many adoption agencies keep a record on file with the adoptive parents signed consent for the child to contact them when s/he is older. So if you can at least find the name of the adoption agency, or the name of the attorney who handled your adoption, they would be a good place to start.
Really You are never to old to adopt, or do anything.
Can a citizen child adopt his illegal parents?
No. The adoption process is only applied for someone 18 or older to adopt a minor (and rarely an adult, who must be a US legal resident/citizen).
What you may be thinking about is "family re-unification", a part of the 1965 immigration law that allows a citizen's family to apply for visas to be reunified in the US. However, the citizen must be 18 or older in order to start a family re-unification process. That is, the citizen child has no legal avenue to remove his or her parents' illegal status.
This is a common misunderstood concept that leads children of illegal parents to be misnamed "anchor babies", even though they have little actual ability to help their parents gain legal status. If the illegal parents are caught and deported, the only choices for the children are to join their parents in their country or origin, or stay in the US under foster care services without their parents. See the Elvira Arellano case where the illegal parent was deported and force to take her son, a US citizen, with her or leave him to foster care.
What age is best to adopt a child?
Does it matter what age the child is if you put he or she up for adoption
How do you know if you are adopted?
Most adoptive parents now tell the child, or the adopted child was old enough to know he/she was adopted. You can talk to your parents about any questions related to your birth, place of birth, time of birth, doctor who delivered you, etc.
As a side note, many children wonder "Was I adopted?" Sometimes the question arises after a child meets a friend who was adopted, or when a child feels conflict with his/her parents. Some children wish they had been adopted.
What does American or being American mean to you?
it means you have freedom of speech, religion, and a word in your government.
Can i take a small flashlight on a delta international flight?
Check the web site for the airline. Many times they are not mentioned and I imagine if you have one in your carry on there should be no problem. You can take cell phones, MP3, and things like that. Cell phones have flashlights.
Well, for adoption, you have to get official papers sent to the court and all and I'm pretty sure there's a hearing (I'm not a lawyer) so I think it's up to a judge. I remember when I got adopted, there wasn't a formal hearing I don't think (I was 9, I'm 18 now so it's a bit fuzzy haha) but the judge talked to me and talked to my parents and asked me if I wanted to be adopted and probably did legal searches and stuff on my (now) father. So, if the judge deems you to be a fit parent and the 17 year old is okay with the adoption, then they should agree to everything. I don't really see the point, it's just a year until they're 18 and legally an adult. Maybe you want to do it for insurance purposes? I don't know. Just a guess.
What does it mean to have primary physical and legal custody?
Primary legal custody means the parent/person with whom the child lives can make all the decisions concerning the child such as schooling, medical care, etc. unless the custodial order deems otherwise.
Can you adopt a new born child at age 13?
Legally, yes, but:
Well I would first ask myself "Would I be able to support a child and give he/she a stable and safe home?". When being considered for an adoptive parent the adoption agency would look into how well you can provide for the child, do you have a job? A home? Can you financially support a child?
There would be a lot of hesitation to allow an 18 year old to adopt a child, because you're barely an adult.
Take a step back and make sure you know what you'd be getting into. Can you REALLY provide a SAFE, SUPPORTIVE, HAPPY, home for this child?
Can you adopt a child that is already in a family?
In the case of a kinship adoption, which is generally done with the consent of the parties, you should contact an attorney who specializes in adoptions. States have various laws regarding adoptions and there may be social services involvement such as evaluations and in some states, the adoptive parents must register as foster parents. An attorney will help you navigate the process in your state with the least difficulty.
How hard is it to adopt a child from another country?
Some aspects are easier than domestic adoptions, others are harder. It depends on what country you are adopting from. It is helpful to use an agency familiar with both the country you are adopting from AND your state.
What percentage of people are adopted?
34.6411% which is not much when you think about how many people are in prison which is a lot!!! so i think there is a small amount of stones to pebbles because they are broken up more than goats or sheep.
Are single people allowed to adopt?
Not usually through an adoption agency in Canada at least. However one can go through the adoption process through a lawyer. Money talks! Often actors or people that are financially successful have ways of adopting if single. Another method is to be artificially inseminated or, surrogate mother (meaning someone gets pregnant for you, you usually pay the medical bills up until the birth of the baby and even after the birth you may have agreed to pay the biological mother an amount of money.) These are just some ideas.
Can a US citizen adopt a 17 year old?
The best option is to consult with an attorney who is qualified in immigration law as to the possibility of adoption and/or the procedures required as they relate to the individual's circumstances.
Here is more input:
- Yes and no. I believe that you would have to deal with the bureaucracy of both countries (the U.S. and the child's home country) first. The USCIS may grant temporary anti-deportation protection for the child but do not count on it.
- It could be done under certain circumstances, but it would be a two-country "beaurocracy hell" in the beginning.
- It depends what country you want to adopt the child from and to be honest, it's all about money. If you have enough money to sway certain people in certain countries you can adopt as many children as you want. Moscow and Asian countries are difficult to adopt from, but money talks. There is a lot of red tape involved and also a lot of time involved. I suggest you speak to a lawyer and prepare yourself before you start any adoption process.
- Yes, if the child is residing in the U.S. he or she must be under the age of 16 and have no surviving parent or a single parent who has voluntarily relinquished parental rights. INA Section 101 (b)(1)(F), USC Section 1101(b)(1)(F).
answer
No, in order to adopt a kid here and give him a legal immigration status he needs to came here legally (with a green card) and then here in USA the parents needs to adjust his status to son of US citizen and then the kid will be citizen.
Why do parents abuse adopted children?
This is a rarity; not common. Lately, in the news, there was a study that found that families have behaviors in common--not just limited to gestures, phrases or rates of learning. An adopted child comes from another family type and may have issues related to that biological behavior from the two families. Certainly, integrating the child at whatever age, does take patience and mentoring.

What do you call the place where a lion lives?
