US stepparent adoption?
Many two parent homes have the issue of raising a step child with no clear rights shared by one parent and all the legal rights are based with the other. The third parent is absent and has often abandoned the child, leaving a step parent with no rights and a natural parent that has disappeared. The child grows in your heart and in your home. Now you want to make the child legally yours with a US stepparent adoption. How can a step parent make that happen without paying thousands of dollars in legal fees? This is money that you would prefer to save for giving the child a more comfortable life?
How do I ask my parents for an adoption?
I'm 15, my parents are mental abusers, they treat me unfairly, they make me go to a church I don't believe in and not let me go to the church that I do believe in, i've been thrown into walls and pushed down the stairs so hard before I get headaches, and all this started when they found out I was gay and I refused to go get therapy to reverse this " disease." I don't care about turning them in, I just want to get away from my republican Mormon parents what a nice combo How do I ask them to put me up for adoption?
Should i give my baby up for adoption ?
um. i don't know how to start, but i need a bit of advice and input. my boyfriend Jackson and i were sitting on his couch and he touched me and tried to make out with me. i kind of figured out where this was going or where he was trying to get it because his parents weren't home and i wasn't supposed to be over. i tried to get up and he pulled me back. i told him no, but all he said was yes. he started touching and feeling me in places. i'm not going to lie, i wanted to stay a virgin, but it didn't feel bad. he kind of forced me down on the the couch and i just let it happen. i didn't care anymore. so when my period was supposed to come it didn't. it's been a few weeks since my period was supposed to come and i decided to take 3 pregnancy tests. every single on of them read positive. before any of you say i'm a sl t or whatever, i'm telling you i'm scared and i think i want to give this baby up for adoption. i really want to not get tied down at such a young age. i'm 16. i'll be 17 in march and honestly, having a child right now is the last thing i need. i'm not having an abortion because that's wrong, but should i give this baby up for adoption ? i want to go to college and be a teenager, plus i have no job, my car only fits two people, and i can't support a child. and knowing Jackson i don't think he'll take things well. please i need advice. do you think i should keep this child or give it up for adoption ? i'm going to the doctors probably next friday to get everything confirmed.
Marriage and adoption laws?
Are there any states countries where it's legal to marry your adopted parent? If so, what are they?To Tamey I'm not asking why people would care, I'm asking if it's legal. Gay marriage isn't legal in most states and that has nothing to do with blood relation. I'm just wondering where this is legal.
My husband and I had an argument last night about abortion, adoption, or giving birth?
Keep in mind, this was a hypothetical discussion.I have the mind set that too many teenagers and irresponsible mothers are giving birth to all these children and then, unable to take care of them, they leech off of the government for a few decades until the kids are grown. At that point, they're usually too old to have really been much use in life, except procreating, and then the children continue the pattern. I don't agree with the sentiment " every child is a gift" I think it's unfair to put a COMPLETELY innocent fetus in the position of being raised by a mother who is ill equipped to be a parent and a father who is either absent his own choice or forced by the mother or just as ill equipped to be a father I had very young parents when I was born and they put me through a lot of hell as a child. I don't think any child deserves to be born to crappy parents and I think teenagers ought to be told straight up that they are rarely equipped with the mental, emotional, or physical tools to raise a child. Bringing that child into the world is only going to complicate things and repopulate and overpopulated world. Therefore, I feel that abortion is a good choice when the parents KNOW they are not going to grow up enough to raise this child properly.He disagrees. He had fantastic parents growing up. Regrettably, they are divorced, but they are both friends and both very much involved in our lives, his siblings lives, and the lives of our two children. He doesn't know how it feels to have crappy parents who weren't ready to be parents. He thinks abortion is always wrong no matter what and people should put the baby up for adoption if they can't handle it.He thinks I'm being heartless in what he views as murder, but I feel it's a mercy to the unborn baby. I can't STAND to see children suffer. I recently witnessed a THIRTEEN year old girl in the same doctor's office I was in for my daughter. She had a baby who was a few months old. Her mother was there with her and she, the mother, and the friend were all talking about " the baby daddy" and how he wasn't paying any child support This girl is THIRTEEN and not even paying attention to the screaming baby. She FINALLY picked up the baby, but she gave it no more attention or regard than a baby doll Just stuck a bottle in the kid's mouth and propped the bottle on her chest so she could continue her conversation She didn't snuggle the little one, wrap her in a blanket, NO maternal affectations whatsoever I just ACHED to hold that little baby and give it some love. It bothered me the rest of the day to think that little baby is going to grow up with no father because her " mother" has no intention of ever letting her dad come around, but the mother will never provide any love for that child because she's just too young She might even be abusive and that sweet little baby I saw will not only have a detached mother, but bruises from annoying that detached mother.... I just think abortion would have been mercy for the poor little thing. Just a note We were teenage parents too, but we got married, have college degrees, he works a GREAT job, have a new car, and live in a really nice 3 bedroom house in a GREAT exclusive school district. For all intents and purposes, we're the average American family. Most people have no idea we started as flat broke, scared teenagers facing a baby.

Deadbeat dad, stepparent adoption?
I need some help. I live in Texas and I have a 2 year old daughter from an early marriage. I got married young, and he tells me he is gay and he moved out. I met a wonderful man with a daughter of his own who loves my child. My soon to be husband wants to adopt her, but her biological father wont sign his rights away. Problem is, he is not only a deadbeat, he is also dangerous. He was physically abusive to me while I was pregnant, and even tried to strangle me once when he was drunk. He does nothing but drink, and brings home strange men from the gay bar. He only ever wants to see her when he has a new " boyfriend" to show her off to but that is the only time. He wont sign his rights away just to be mean. Problem is, I have no proof to show that she is not safe around him. His apartment is filled with beer bottles and trash everywhere, and I picked her up once and there were drunk men there and she was alone in the living room sucking on a beer cap. How can I get this filth out of our lives? We can take him to court, but its only going to be me saying that he is bad, I have no proof. His parents hate him too and they are terrified of her going over there, but since he is their son, they are not willing to testify. They say they are just going to pray that she is safe when he takes her. As I said, he has only had her over to his place once, and only takes her out when he finds a new guy, but I hate to have to wait until something bad happens before I can take his rights away. My little girl is afraid and cries when he takes her, my fiance is the only father she knows and he has been there for her since she was a baby. Does anyone have any advice? My friend took custody after his ex let a guy babysit and he molested her, but do I really have to wait until she is hurt before i can do anything? Please help I should add that his reasons for not signing his rights away is that I hardly " know" this man who has been raising her, and she calls him daddy. But yet he regularly brings home strange men from the bar? She has already had 2 yeast infections and a kidney infection, which apparently is unusual for a baby, but the Doctor said there were no signs of abuse?

Changing a child's name?!?!? (adoption)?
I am curious... I have a friend whose family recently adopted two Russian girls ages 10 and 11. When I visited my friend's home the other day and met the girls for the first time, I was surprised to hear my friend introduce them as " Heather and Paige" . The girls do not even speak English yet... My friend explained to me that her parents had decided to give them American names.Later on, one of the parents overheard Paige calling Heather " Sveta" her Russian name, or a diminutive of it and quietly came over, pointed Heather out and said " This is HEA THER, not Sveta. HEA THER. HEA THER" . And the poor girl repeated without even being able to pronounce the name correctly.Oh, and also... on the photos I had seen of the girls in Russia, they had those beautiful ribbons in their long hair. Now, they are arranged like any typical American girl. I asked my friend if that was what the girls wanted, and she told me it was her parents' decision... " Homecoming makeover" , she said.So I want to know what is up with all that. Is this what adoption is all about? Can someone explain to me what are the motivations behind this? The only thing I know is that if that had happened to me when I was that age I am 15 today , I would have been severely traumatized...
