Can you nullify an adoption

Get your shit-show adoptive parents to take you to your Dr, or any Dr, even your school nurse, and tell them how the adoptive have decided that THEY are now your Doctors and took you off your meds. That should help get the ball rolling. Good luck, you sweet peas in a pod. You are in my ptsteesdde. If you own a cell phone try to document everything your adoptive parents are doing. Call CPS and report your case. They should remove you and put you in a different home. I am a foster parent and adoptive parent and I would never treat my kids like this.

Most of the foster parents I know are great parents who really love their kids. My son was in a great facility before we adopted him and even in a group home they have so many resources that would be much better than the abuse you are suffering now.

I hope you find a different home soon. I also wanted to add a note that I was researching failed adoptions when I was on this site for a podcast. I would never want to give up my adoptive kids! Hey sweetie im so sorry your going thru this. I also got my daughter taken after cps workers made up lie after lie about me making me out to be this monster that km not. Me and my daughter were very close and come to find out the adoptive parents, the cps worker, all of them were all friends and in on this together which is so illegal.

They ruinend my life and now i am not able to have any contact with my little girl. Anyways i know this is hard on you but remember as soon as you turn 18 u can get out of there. Dont take your own life sweetheart u seem amazing and your life isnt worth taking over those scum bags.

Have u tried calling cps yourself and told them whats going on at home? U can me anonymous.. Do you know who your real parents are? I have had a termination of parental rights done on me. I know a lot of people who have. None of them wanted it. Very few went through over legitmate matters in which a child should be removed.

You may have someone out there that never wanted to lose you and loves you very much. You may not. But from my experience you do! So maybe look for them.. My husband and I adopted 2 little boys from foster care.

The oldest is not showing sexual behaviors towards the youngest. He was admitted at an inpatient mental health hospital and continues outpatient treatment. He continue to show this behavior.

Hi, I am 22 years old and my biological youngest biological brother is We were separated as kids and both adopted in different homes.

He is about to turn 16 in July, he is not in a very good home with his adoptive mother and I was looking into either wondering if he could get his adoption reversed if I took guardianship of him or adopted him, he could move into my home. I have two jobs and have the income to provide and care for him. I know that my parents would take guardianship of him, they have a really good family bond and he loves staying at my house and spending time with my family?

Then he will have guardianship over himself. Then he can live with you. Google how its done. My now Ex, wanted to adopt a child. We have 2 children together and I never wanted more than 2 kids, but I was working through the emotion of this decision for our family. After going through all the adoption process, we were granted the adoption of the child.

A week after the adoption was finalize, she asked me for separation. I was never able to create a relationship with the kid and now I am legally responsible for this child. I was wondering about the chance of reversing the adoption but also the process if there is one. Thank you. I hope that I am making sense. Our great niece was adopted out to her foster parents. Even though we are certified foster parents and even adopted one of our daughters. We visited our great niece and were very capable of taking her in.

Even though dcs supported sending her to us. We are and were devastated! She was basically stolen out of our family. We found out that the foster parents have a relationship with the mayor of the town.

The original cps worker on the case committed suicide even during the case. We had an approved icpc and even hired an attorney. The judge shut the case down before our lawyer could even help. We want her back if at all possible. Please please let me know if there is anything we can do. The injustice has been awful for us and our kids! They are heartbroken. Any help of info is much appreciated. I know nothing I have nothing and I feel like nothing.

This system is twisted and I never neglected any of my kids all the pain and etc I have to live with everyday is ridiculous. My prayers go out to you almost the same situation happened to me.. I live in florida. Back when I was 20 so in or so my 9 year olds grandma took my kids from me.

She cohercied my twoo other people to call dcf and she called at the same day. And apparently just because 3 people called in one day that gave dcf the right bto come take my babies I no that she had to been paying them off the case worker and such. My ex husband was the reason I fell off the deep end because he took an open plea.

Right after we had my second daughter and knowing he would get 2 years rather then taking probation he wanted to get the time over with. Because he is an addict and I guess he really didnt care what happened to his nor did he no it would be that bad.

Well with him gone I moved in with my baby sister biggest mistake ever she was using needles and I had started using ti because I was heart broken. Her son my sperm donor got arrested in fk and got violent with his mom anmmin front of my daughter he got a no contact order so what does the bitch denies to me and says her mons dying in cali and as soon as she crosses over she will come back.

Then it was up to my ex husband because he just got out if jail. A 5 time felon gets a shit. How much pain and trauma they caused I went to my parents ngf classes got a job and passed all my pee tests.

And then what do you ni I. Fail for pcp i dont even no what that is and i nooeea fact the pee was clean they placed it. I did not sign my rights up but noth my baby daddy did. I wish I had a time machine I dint ni what ti d in. They say since I refused to sign my rights over to them that I could never have a kid again when they took my kids and did an illegal home study at my sisters house that she was moving out of.

And they took all these notes and pictures and said I was living in the apartment with my children with no lights or water and my sister had needles in her bathroom floor in her room and they lied and said it was my room. They dont care my youngest my t daughter lives near me but I hardly ever see her because she is with these obese people that make her eat mc donalds every day and night. And dont run and play with her. My oldest comes to visit every summer since they bitch that started all this took her far far away.

There is some very wicked illegal stuff taking place in the United States of America. With the cps and promise ship program. They are stealing people children, and making it very hard for them to get them back and them terminated there God given rights within 15 months. My grandson got sick and the mother took him to the hospital they admitted him the next day she left the hospital to make a errand. So my son went out there instead. But the promise ship program had been watching her Facebook and following her around.

They forced themselves in there life at the. Hospital from his birth. So while my son was with the baby the hospital called cps and said mother left but never stated that my son was right there.

They snatched him from him even with police being right with them said too late he is ares now. We all had i fight to get him back we all lost cause nothing was good enough cause they already had a home picked before he was ever taken!!! Even the judge said give him back they still refused. My son gave up. He was adopted by that lady in 15 months. She was at all of are libraries visits she changed his language before we even lost him.

Now we find out that he is not my sons baby. My son did ask for a DNA which was denied to him. We now know who the real father is and he wants his son. But we are not sure what step to take. Cps and promise ship needs to be investigation by fbi the state is illegal stealing babies and kids and lying to do everything yo keep the family apart!!! Many more children will be stolen. Be careful what and when u do anything. If your trying to fight DCFS to get your kids back.

U should get affidavits from anyone that knows you and have them write out on me on your capability and the love u give. How you treat and then. Then you write one of ways you deal with handling problems and what the of come was. And your feelings on this situation. Then send it straight to the judge. Not the case worker straight to your judge.

Asking to get them back and why. Do not bad talk the workers or law facilitators. No bad talk about anyone. Just you and your feelings and reasons why you deserve to have them back. While giving birth to my second set, my first set was in the care of grandmother. He was charged for child neglect andis in jail. Adoptive mom would send me updates but recently blocked me.

There mother had passed the girls where 16,11,9,6,2. My husband and I did everything we possibly could do for these girls. Mentally none of them have recovered. They all have difficulty in life even with counseling for years. I have now been a foster parent for four years. And I have seen so many abused children, neglected children, and children that have been loved by their parents.

They have their own family. It is no longer about you. This is even with their parent or parents telling them that they love them. I see you love your children and want to be part of there live. You did it for your children. It will be hard but Wait until they are adults they will love you for everything you gave up for them. As adults the kids will be able to understand and you guys will form a very strong and loving bond. Biological father wanting custody of daughter restored after ugly court battle 8 years ago with his parents he was adopted.

Daughter ended up being adopted by his adoptive parents and relationship still very poor to this day. If he voluntarily gave up his child for adoption to hi s parents, there are a number of questions that he needs to discuss with a local attorney to get all in order.

Most courts will not take a child away from biological parents unless there is some type of serious harm that is likely to occur, the person is dangerous ie. If this is what happened, his chances are pretty slim. The problem here is that there was some type of custody battle between a parent and the grandparents over a child. This is not normal. That needs to be explored in depth with a local attorney that can view the case file and examine those specific facts against the statutes involved.

Best of luck! My best friend was adopted when she was 6 months old by her new step father. He was later convicted of molesting her. She has extreme mental problems because of the abuse.

She has recently told me she wants to get the name removed from all her documents. We are in Texas and the adoption took place in Texas. Is there anyway she can get it reversed without going to court? I Live in North Carolina. My ex-wife and I divorced in June of , I adopted her daughter in May of Every day my adopted daughter asks if her biological father can be her Dad and if she can go live with him, he wants her to come live with him.

She will be 9 in May, she knows what she is asking. My granddaughter was adopted by her maternal grandmother. It was a CPS case, I had her the first year and 1 month she was 2 weeks old and I intervened but we went to mediation and I agreed to maternal grandmother adopting her as long as I kept visitations with my granddaughter as I had been doing. My son got in trouble before she was born and was incarcerated during the case. Biological mom signed away her rights and both parents rights were terminated.

Mom relapsed once the child was returned and CPS allowed her to stay with maternal grandmother instead of returning her to me, which is why intervened. We would like to know if my son is able to try and reverse the adoption upon his release? Is there anything he is able to do once he gets his life on track? Any time an adoption will be set to a reversal, each individual state imposes its own set of rules that vary quite differently.

As a general rule, most states do not believe that an adoption reversal — except in somewhat extreme cases — is necessarily in the best interests of children. That said, depending on the local statutes where the parties and child live, a reversal may be possible. More often than not, if there can be an agreement that is reached, the process of reversing or setting a new adoption might be streamlined and easier to obtain. It sounds like there were some serious reasons why either parental rights were stripped or an adoption was forced, taking away parental rights from the biological mother and father.

When this happens, the courts are extremely leery of granting rights back to the parent is very difficult. This is primarily because the threshold for taking away parental rights is so high, that when it happens, the courts generally view it as a serious hazard for that parent to be with a child — remember, the courts primary consideration is NOT whether a parent has had something taken away from them, their primary concern is the life and health of the child.

Speak to a local professional that can give you some specifics on your case as soon as possible! I am a 13 year old I am almost 14 and I was adopted by my grandparents when I was 12 my father gave away his rights but my mother never did and now my mother has been sober for almost 2 years and has a job and a house and I think it would be in my better interest to be with her.

I am currently 14 years old and I live in Nebraska. I was adopted when I was 8 years old. My biological parents had their rights terminated so they are out of the picture. We have two very different personalities. She started sending me to respite in on weekends and summers.

Then it was weekends, summers, and holidays. Last November I ran away from my house and she sent me to live with my respite family. It is now almost Christmas time and she is just signing temporary guardianship. Is there any way for my adoptive parents to sign over more rights? Or reverse the adoption? I would really love your help figuring this stuff out. No, its abandonment and you as a child can petition the courts to have them removed as your guardians!

I have been given access to talking to her and spending time with my biological family in California, however I live in Montana. I keep regular contact with her and my little brother l, whom she still has custody over. The dark looks I get when I do grab a snack. And I never seem to do anything right. However, their daughter, currently 21, has. There was a day that I was having a bad day, and I ended up swearing, and she responded by slapping me across the face.

I was 14, she was I felt more wanted in 2 months then I have in 6 years. I feel the same way. My adoptive parents only gave me one serving even if I was still hungry. And if I did ask for more I was called fat or ridiculed. I wish I had my biological family to step up like they did for you.

After you are emancipated you can choose to live where you want. Including with your real mom! While on a meet with my doctor because I hit my head and think I had a concussion she made me cry to the point of not being able to speak then took over the call.

Does this warrant the adoption to be reversed. I think she loves you more than you ever know but possibly the illness is making her upset more and maybe wondering about you without her. I suggest going sitting down an talking with your mom and tell her how you feel and that you love her so much.. Im an adoptive parent and I bet this will work she just worried to the point its stressing her out thinking about you and her.

Hey I recently got myself in a situation 3 weeks ago. I am 25 years old. Military wife of an active staff sergeant of the us army who just pcsd here fort hood.

My marriage of 6 years had went through a rocky point where me and my husband both stepped out on one another. I began to search adoption agency. But closed out on it because I wanted her my unborn daughter at the time to be a blessing to someone. I searched the army wives Facebook group and came across a story from a girl and her husband whom is also in the Military station at the next duty station from hood in El Paso Texas who I felt so deeply sorry for as well and figured they would probably be perfect.

I needed someone with a steady income financially stable etc who want to be parents bad. Not even a week, the next few days I went into active early labor.

I then acted on impulse and signed my rights over. I just need to know is there anything you can do or advice you can give. The cost of it all. And must I mention the father never signed over his rights if that help nor was he notified about the adoption. Will take to the news if I have to about the fraud adoption. Please get back to me if you can thanks so much. Just found out my mom dies April 28th, my brother sis not I for my sister and I. My brother and his wife say they are born again Christians and have stolen from my parents at the time of death.

We are out of state. They are not adopting from India, my sister and I want to stop this because of all the faulseness they show to the world. An we get sued if we try to stop this adoption? What if my mother and father and I dont get along and all we do id fight all of the time and i just dont think i can mentally take it anymore is there anyway that i can qualify for an readobtion?

Can adoption be reversed in the state of South Carolina? I was 21 when I had my son. I finally have a decent job, older wiser, and on my feet now and I want to reverse the adoption, but not sure in the state of South Carolina if I can do it without my parents the adoptive parents consent or if it can be done at all.

Can someone please answer this? I love my baby boy to the moon and back and I just want to be his mom like I should be. I pray the Lord will open the door and guide your feet to regaining parental rights of your son. God Bless you c. So what happened in my situation? Because I was kidnapped at 8 months old by my grandmother and her boyfriend Timmy at the time in California. I was taken away from my mother and taken to Florida to my grandmothers boyfriends aunts house, who in fact some how became my adopted mom……..

Regardless of what anyone says. I also know when I was in the 5th grade, my adopted mother even said that biological family is trying to get me back. I guess when you have a lot of money and a well known therapist you can take things, buy it regardless if its an animal, decoration shit I guess you can buy humans as well! Every second, every minute, every single fucking day I wake up I feel I have been living a lie since I was 19 and found everything out.

I would love to talk to you. We are fighting to get a baby back that was unlawfully trafficked through Foster Care in Florida. She will be in your situation when she is your age and know that she was stolen. Have you called your local US Representatives Office locally? I am not in FL, but I would encourage you to do so. Try and make an appointment and see if they will make an appointment where you can tell the staff member in the office your story, they can open a case for you and perhaps help to get the ball rolling in straitening out your records.

Some of those records are likely State but some are Federal. I just want you to know you have been heard. There has to be hope. So is there a time limit on adoption reversals in Maine? He was coerced by his adopted mother into the adoption. She later emptied his savings account and threw him out of the home. I did my case plan and fought for almost a year when I started feeling very discouraged about everything my mother called me and told me she wanted to help me anyway she could she coerced me into signing over my rights to my daughter and getting my boyfriend at the time her father to sign his over.

She said she was going to fly me to Oregon where she lived and when DCF was out of my life sign my rights back over well….. I wish u the best i hope u can figure ur situation out. I was under the impression that she would go back to her parents but that did not happen. I put my whole life on hold to care for a child that I didnt know but grew to love. I am now 26 and It seems like I was pressured into adopting her by the state.

They gave me a time frame to let them know what I wanted to do as well as told me that If i didnt she would be posted state wide. I was nervous about letting her go to a new home without knowing who she would end up with so I went through with the adoption.

I want to reverse my adoption and let her go with a family that is more established and willing. Wow…… your a bit of a twat… should have thought about that b4 adopting the poor child. We arnt your trash to throw away when your done… you should have dealt with your guilt of not adopting her when the option arose, not after the case.

Score you make a comment like that and calling someone out their name because of how they feel. Try adopting a child whom no matter how much you try to love them and do things to make them happy; disrespects you, lies, steals, run away, and everything against you and does things to purposely hurt you.

Then talk about how somebody should feel. Tell that parent a child is not trash. The adoptive parent is doing from the heart.

If the adoptive parent did it for any other reasons we are still not to judge. She was young when she took the child in and probably does not have the support we need to make her feel differently. You are so correct!

We adopted a sibling set and the youngest was and still is exactly what you described. He is know 19 years old and has moved on to bigger things: drugs, mental abuse toward us and continues to perfect his awful ways. We have done everything under the sun to be able to guide him down the right path like his brothers but he continues to make bad choices and we are done saving him and being his punching bag. Does anyone know if its possible to dissolve an adoption of a 19 year old?

Thank you in advance!! Bless your heart! And yes the state does pressure foster parents to adopt. I have seen that first hand.

God bless you in your attempt to reverse the adoption. You provided a good home for some years. It is okay to admit that you committed to more than you were ready for. Wow, selfish …. I wonder how people like you are able to sleep at night. I decided to put my now 6 year old child up for adoption to a best friend and her husband 6 years ago. We all agreed i would be able to see the child whenever I wanted.

Adoptive parents who seek dissolution commonly report that they are afraid for their own safety, the safety of their children, or the survival of their marriage. Is your family or marriage in imminent danger?

Are you feeling frustration that might resolve over time, or with some outside help? It can be difficult to analyze and understand our own feelings, but you should try to clarify for yourself why you need to dissolve the adoption so that you can articulate those feelings to others, including the court. Seek outside treatment. Attachment disorders, including reactive attachment disorder, bipolar disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and others are fairly common among adopted children.

When faced with the many challenges presented by an attachment disorder, some parents misinterpret the child's behavior as sociopathic, psychopathic, borderline personality disorder, or narcissistic personality disorder. Each state has government-managed post-adoption services, ranging from support groups to crisis intervention social workers.

Evaluate the level of teamwork in your parenting. In families who seek dissolution, it is common for one parent to express that he or she has reached a "breaking point. If your situation could benefit from both spouses re-committing to a collaborative effort to raise the child, talk to your spouse about how you can restructure your home life to get both parents more involved.

You may wish to consult a marriage and family therapist for some professional insight. Part 2. Contact an agency. When an adoptive family finds a new family to adopt the child, it is called a family-to-family adoption.

These agencies are also known as "replacement" or "re-homing" agencies. These professionals can help you locate another family that can provide the level of care that the child needs. The adopting family will be subjected to a home study and required to demonstrate that they are mentally, physically, and financially capable of caring for the child. The new family may be required to receive training and pass a criminal background check. Children's Bureau providing resources related to childcare and abuse prevention Go to source You may also be able to locate a family to adopt your child on your own using community resources, from word of mouth to online message boards.

If you meet a family interested in re-homing the child, contact an adoption agency or a family lawyer to proceed with the re-adoption process. However, do not re-home a child without going through the legal adoption process. Placing a child with strangers who have not been reviewed in a home study is dangerous and may be a crime in your state.

If you cannot locate or work with a re-homing agency, you may need to try to find an adoptive family on your own, or file a petition to terminate your parental rights and return the child to foster care. Participate in an assessment of the child's needs. The re-homing agency will need to conduct an assessment of the child's needs before the child is re-homed to another family. With your input, the agency should be able to gatherer clearer information about the child than was available when you completed your adoption.

The assessment will include: Interviews with your family; Interviews of professionals who have treated the child; Reviews psychological testing, health, and educational records; and Reviews of the information you received at the time the child was first placed with your family.

Relinquish your parental rights. In addition to the placement of the child with a new family, you will need to participate in the legal process of giving up your parental rights. The adoption agency or an attorney will assist you. You may be required to make a court appearance, or simply sign paperwork surrendering your rights. Give notice of the termination of your parental rights. Once your rights have been legally terminated, notify any agency that needs this information.

This includes your health insurance company, the child's school, daycare, any agency from which you receive subsidies, and the previous adoption agency. Talk to the child when the time is right.

It is important to emphasize that safeguards are built into the adoption process. For example, in the Affidavit providing consent to adoption, the person giving consent must affirm that a social worker or lawyer fully explained the circumstances under which consent can be revoked, that they understand the meaning and effect of the adoption , and that they are signing the consent freely and voluntarily. Independent legal advice is always recommended throughout the adoption process and is typically used before Affidavits of consent are signed by parents and the child.
