Children are human and Adoptive Parents are to. Courts just look at us as caretakers. The children reside in our home and when the court decides to give the children back, they lose their family. How is that in the best interest of a child?
At the age of 6 and half weeks old our baby girl was abandoned by the Birth Mother. The birth mother was given a choice to stay put at her friends house or CPS would take the baby. She left the baby. Then decided to give me joint custody, then full custody, then asked me to adopt.
Five months after the adoption consent was signed she changed her mind. The birth mother has willfully and intentionally committed actions with malice to conspire against the adoption causing irreparable injury, damage and harm for monetary reasons. Our little girl is 2 ½ years old now with an uncertain future. Our first attorney made a lot of errors on our case so the adoption consent was thrown out of court. Not our fault yet we as a family have to pay the price.
We need to have laws in place where children and their adoptive family's are protected. Please help me stand up and fight for our little girl and other children that are suffering due to neglect and negligence.
We, the undersigned, call on lawmakers in the U.S.A. Senate and House of Representatives to pass a comprehensive Federal Law that will protect the rights of adoptive parents and children waiting to be adopted.
I want to introduce a Bill that will allow the Children’s Voices to be heard, Children’s Rights and The Adoptive Parents Rights. Adoptive Parents and the Adoptee should not have to suffer the consequences of their attorneys incompetence and procedural errors that can occur during an adoption process.
A consent for adoption should not be revocable after 10 days. (Even if there is a procedural error and the intend was their).
The time frame for abandonment should be 24 hours, not 6 months. (PARENTAL RIGHTS SHALL BE TERMINATED AT THAT TIME).
If at any time before the age of 5 years the child is diagnosed with in utero drug or alcohol exposer, the birth mothers, (PARENTAL RIGHTS SHALL BE TERMINATED AT THAT TIME).
If you have cared for the child over half of it’s life and or are a relative, paternal grandmother, step grandfather, or custodial parent there should be no need for a Home Study.
A child with special needs should not be removed from their primary care giver.
The income of the petitioner should not matter if the child has resided in the home for over 6 months.
The counseling of the birth parents prior to adoption should be excluded if they signed their parental rights away to someone that is a close relative.
Placement of children by parent or legal guardian should be executed in front of a notary or any legal officer of the courts.
The law should be the same for both. If it is the Birth father's execution of consent before the juvenile and domestic relation court is not required. (The execution of consent before the juvenile and domestic relations district court shall not be required of the birth mother who is not married to the father of the child at the time of the child’s conception or birth.
When such child has resided in the home of the prospective adoptive parent(s) , custodial parent, continuously for one or more years, consent shall be executed in the circuit court.
A diagnosis by an attending physician made within first 5 years of life, sometimes it takes longer to diagnose) of a child's birth that the child has an illness, disease, or condition that, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, is attributable to in utero exposure to a controlled substance, drugs, alcohol that was not prescribed by a physician for the mother or the child.
