Name the stepa needed for Minnesota to become a state?

Last time I looked, Minnesota was admitted into the Union in the 1800's.....\nRemember Laura Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie?\nWalnut Grove, Minnesota....\n\nThe state, located in the northern United States bordering on Lake Superior and on Manitoba and Ontario, Canada. It was admitted as the 32nd state in 1858. First explored by the French in the mid-17th century, the area became part of the United States through the Treaty of Paris (1783) and the Louisiana Purchase (1803). St. Paul is the capital and Minneapolis the largest city. Population: 5,100,000.\n\nTerritorial Status and Statehood\n\nIn 1849 Minnesota became a territory. The Missouri and White Earth rivers were the western boundary. A land boom grew as towns were platted, railroads chartered, and roads built. Attention turned to education, and the Univ. of Minnesota was established in 1851. The school, with its many associated campuses, has subsequently exerted and continues to exert a great influence on the cultural life of the state. The building (1851–53) of the Soo Ship Canal at Sault Ste. Marie opened a water route for lake shipping eastward.\n\nThe Panic of 1857 hit Minnesota particularly hard because of land speculation, but difficult times did not prevent the achievement of statehood in 1858, with St. Paul as the capital and Henry Hastings Sibley as the state's first governor. The population had swelled from 6,000 in 1850 to more than 150,000 in 1857; by 1870 there were nearly 440,000 people. Chiefly a land of small farmers (mainly of British, German, and Irish extraction), Minnesota supported the Union in the Civil War and supplied large quantities of wheat to the Northern armies.\n\n:)\nPeace!

State laws on stepparent adoptions vary. Most States have a streamlined process for adoptions by stepparents whereby the judge hearing the adoption petition has the ability to dispense with the requirement in State laws for an adoption home study. Some States, however, will not approve a stepparent adoption unless the custodial parent has been married to the stepparent for 1 year or longer.\n\nWhen a stepparent wishes to adopt a stepchild, the child's parents (the stepparent's spouse and the noncustodial or absent parent) are usually both required to consent to that adoption. In consenting to an adoption, the noncustodial parent relinquishes all parental rights and responsibilities, including child support. If the noncustodial parent objects to the proposed adoption and refuses to consent to it, State laws may prevent the adoption from proceeding.\n\nSome State adoption laws specify special circumstances under which the noncustodial parent's consent is not required. Other States have made special provisions in their adoption laws to allow stepparent adoptions to occur, even over the objections of the noncustodial parent, in cases where the noncustodial parent has failed to maintain communication with the child for a specified period of time.\n\n\nHere's a link to more info about stepparent adoption\nhttp://naic.acf.hhs.gov/pubs/f_step.cfm\n\nHere is a link to search statutes by state for issues related to child adoption. Results will provide summaries of State statutes (and full text of laws, in some cases).\nhttp://naic.acf.hhs.gov/general/legal/statutes/search/index.cfm\n\nbest wishes and God bless

Call the state licensing board of Minnesota. Chances are if you haven't taken extra continuing education credits, it will no longer be good. Also, depending on the state you intend to practice in, a new board exam may be required.

Depends on where you live.\nIn California, you need to apply to the local Superior Court, Family Division. (most states are probably somewhat similar).\nDepends on how long you have been involved in the relationship, and the willingness of the birth parent (if he/she is still around) to consent to allowing you (as the step parent) to adopt.\n\nThe social services department may want you to wait until AFTER you are , in fact the step parent before allowing the adoption.\n\nCheck with your local library.  Most have sample copies of the papers that you would need to file - saving money on an attorney.\n\nGOOD LUCK!

Careful going to the first link listed below--pop-up membership invitation, but they have good information.\n\n2nd link--just one more place to look for trails!\n\n3rd link is a book about hiking around the state--check with the library and see if they have a copy. I have the book--it's pretty good!\n\n4/5th links are the State of Minnesota web site for tourism---the 5th link specifically is when I put the word HIKE in a search.\n\nHappy trails!

I think it depends on where you live (the state).  You have to go through some state process.

I'm awake, but I can't find any list of states that require criminal registration.  Sorry, I'll keep trying!\n\nADDED INFORMATION: Sorry, I found nothing and I'm too lazy to go form state to state.

I Am Not A Lawyer.  This does not constitute legal advice.\n\nI am not familiar with Minnesota law.  You should be able to call a Minnesota lawyer for free with that question.  Call criminal defense lawyers (look them up in the Yellow Pages) and ask them who they would choose to represent them for restoration of civil rights.  Then call their recommended lawyers and ask them.  They should be able to give you a quick answer.  They should only insist on payment if you want them to represent you in the restoration of your civil rights.

Definitely Minnesota.  I grew up around Big Stone Lake along the Minnesota/South Dakota border.  We have several nationally known wallege tournaments per year there.  Also, it is considered a "boundary water", which means that it opens a weekend earlier than the rest of the lakes for fishing season.  Good luck and happy fishing!
