Legal strategy for birth family interference of our adopted son?
967874
Try communicating via a letter.  Make sure that you use no language that is derogatory or that can be viewed in a different manner than intended.  Tell them that you appreciate their care for your son but as the child's legal parents you have decided that there will be no contact with the child's birth family.  You wish to build a strong sense of belonging with his (only) family and you will pick the time and manner in which to educate him as to his origins.\n\nIf she persists then ask your attorney to restrain her.

You need to contact the county court or family court in your area.  They can talk you through how to terminate the parental rights of your son's father.  Good luck!

Not unless he adopted your son & that would require your permission. Check with your attorney or Social Security Office, take copy of divorce papers to prove you have joint custody.\nShe hasd no legal right to block your contact from his # & broke the law if collecting double payments.

Maybe your local child protective services agency can help you. They deal with this sort of thing all the time and can tell you what you need to do. \n\nI would get notarized affadavits/statements from anyone who has information about this man. Also, you can demand a DNA test if there is some doubt about whether he is the father.\n\nGood luck. It sounds like you are the best hope for these children.

Why do you want to do this?  I think that it has to come from her adopting you.  Your birth mother would have to relinquish parental rights.\n\nThis could create massive pain for your birth mother.  Just talk to you Godmother and let her know that in your heart you consider her your true mother,

this is completely legal. are you referring to Cooperative Adoption (when a contract is signed by birth parents & adopted parents to ensure that the birth parents have contact with the child)? if so, this agreement is legal in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.\n\ni wish you the best of luck!

WOW you stepped in it this time. She is illegal, get her deported and take out an order that stops her from taking your child (an American citizen) you can do that I've seen it done in Virginia. I forget what it is called but if your lawyer doesn't know what to file ask him to ask another lawyer maybe one that has been around a while.

You'll  probably be better off consulting with a lawyer.You will have to petition the court for termination of his rights,be required to post a public notice,usually in a newspaper, to announce your intention.A lawyer could very possibly make the transition faster and easier,especially in regards to your husband adopting her, and the subsequent name change.

My husband in in a similar situation.  His ex we wants him to pay child support for a child that may not be his.  We are taking her to court for a DNA test.  Because you signed the birth certificate you have the right to have a DNA test.  If the mother will not cooperate go talk you prosecuting attorney for way to achieve that.

You definitely need to contact somebody... Try starting with your local DVACK shelter... DVACK is for domestic violence... Tell them that you are scared for yourself and your child and get a protection from abuse order, he won't beable to come near you or the baby, and you can get your court proceedings started from there. you definitely need to talk to your local SRS office and tell them you want to start the custody to make sure you have residential custody, because if you don't, he has every right to that child just like you do.  He will beable to take her and there is nothing you can do to get that child back until you go through court and ask for visitation. That can take months to do, if he gets the child before you start the proceedings,and no child should go months let alone days without seeing their mother. If you hurry and do that, if he does take the baby, they could then issue an Amber Alert and put his butt in jail! Good luck, but act FAST, seriously!!!!!!!

There are support groups that you can find solace with.  As a mother of a child through adoption, I can only tell you that I could not love that child more if I had given birth to her.\n\nYour gift was the greatest that anyone could offer another person.  Your pain is real.  Did you see the View today - all about families built through adoption and foster care. \n\nYou can register on a birth parent registry and when your son is ready to find you he can.\n\nYou are in my heart.

:}\nSalvation results in adoption into the family of G-d, sonship.\nIf your son has sex and does drugs;;\nWill he still be your son?\nWill you punish him?\nDoes G-d punish those who he loves?

You need to provide more info first.  As both a paralegal and adopted child, I would offer my opinion, however, you neglected to inform us what amendment is offered in the bill, how it will diversely effect the citizens and why you are against it.  Without these important facts, any answer given would be disingenuous.

If he's in jail right now, you have a good to great chance of getting his rights terminated by a court, but you will have to come up with some money for an attorney.  You COULD do it yourself, but it could get tricky.  Also, if the termination does go through, I DEFINITELY would not let my "fiance" adopt her until you two are married.
