I have a male friend who is now married to someone who has had children from an ex, but who can't give him any. they adopted a child together as he was keen to have a child to love. he has been married for 14 years and does not regret his situation .\n i am not saying that your love will want to adopt, but he has indicated that he is happy to be with you. accept  that you now have the love you deserve . it is really up to him to decide whether he can live without children of his own, he is an adult who can make that decision for himself. \nperhaps you are concerned that in a few years he may regret his decision.But try to not let it make you so paranoid that it makes your relationship suffer. come on ----enjoy the love.

There is something like a national birth parent registry I think.  You can probably contact ANY adoption agency for more information.

Yes, I know you can.  My girlfriend met a guy on yahoo chat several years ago.  She has a handicapped son and he had 5 kids.  I was very skeptical...thought it would never work.  They got married and he has been her knight in shining Armour!

Yes. Here's the penal code for California, but i'm sure it's similar in all states, unadoption is near the bottom in chapter 3, but i'd recommend reading all of this:\n\nCalifornia Family Code Division 13 Part 3 Chapter 1\n\n9300.  (a) An adult may be adopted by another adult, including a\nstepparent, as provided in this part.\n   (b) A married minor may be adopted in the same manner as an adult\nunder this part.\n\n\n\n9301.  A married person who is not lawfully separated from the\nperson's spouse may not adopt an adult without the consent of the\nspouse, provided that the spouse is capable of giving that consent.\n\n\n\n9302.  (a) A married person who is not lawfully separated from the\nperson's spouse may not be adopted without the consent of the spouse,\nprovided that the spouse is capable of giving that consent.\n   (b) The consent of the parents of the proposed adoptee, of the\ndepartment, or of any other person is not required.\n\n\n\n9303.  (a) A person may not adopt more than one unrelated adult\nunder this part within one year of the person's adoption of an\nunrelated adult, unless the proposed adoptee is the biological\nsibling of a person previously adopted pursuant to this part or\nunless the proposed adoptee is disabled or physically handicapped.\n   (b) A person may not adopt an unrelated adult under this part\nwithin one year of an adoption of another person under this part by\nthe prospective adoptive parent's spouse, unless the proposed adoptee\nis a biological sibling of a person previously adopted pursuant to\nthis part.\n\n\n9304.  A person adopted pursuant to this part may take the family\nname of the adoptive parent.\n\n\n\n9305.  After adoption, the adoptee and the adoptive parent or\nparents shall sustain towards each other the legal relationship of\nparent and child and have all the rights and are subject to all the\nduties of that relationship.\n\n\n9306.  (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the birth parents\nof a person adopted pursuant to this part are, from the time of the\nadoption, relieved of all parental duties towards, and all\nresponsibility for, the adopted person, and have no right over the\nadopted person.\n   (b) Where an adult is adopted by the spouse of a birth parent, the\nparental rights and responsibilities of that birth parent are not\naffected by the adoption.\n\n\n\n9307.  A hearing with regard to adoption under Chapter 2 (commencing\nwith Section 9320) or termination of a parent and child relationship\nunder Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 9340) may, in the\ndiscretion of the court, be open and public.\n\nChapter 2\n\n9320.  (a) An adult may adopt another adult who is younger, except\nthe spouse of the prospective adoptive parent, by an adoption\nagreement approved by the court, as provided in this chapter.\n   (b) The adoption agreement shall be in writing, executed by the\nprospective adoptive parent and the proposed adoptee, and shall state\nthat the parties agree to assume toward each other the legal\nrelationship of parent and child and to have all of the rights and be\nsubject to all of the duties and responsibilities of that\nrelationship.\n\n\n9321.  (a) The prospective adoptive parent and the proposed adoptee\nmay file in the county in which either person resides a petition for\napproval of the adoption agreement.\n   (b) The petition for approval of the adoption agreement shall\nstate all of the following:\n   (1) The length and nature of the relationship between the\nprospective adoptive parent and the proposed adoptee.\n   (2) The degree of kinship, if any.\n   (3) The reason the adoption is sought.\n   (4) A statement as to why the adoption would be in the best\ninterest of the prospective adoptive parent, the proposed adoptee,\nand the public.\n   (5) The names and addresses of any living birth parents or adult\nchildren of the proposed adoptee.\n   (6) Whether the prospective adoptive parent or the prospective\nadoptive p

the answer is yes it is possible and getting better all the time. many courts are granting visitation rights to grandparents all the time. check with your county court house in your area and see if this is being done.

Adoption agencies have strict regulations on giving out info.  Both the mother and the adoptee have to request to be contacted, and it has to be the same adoption agency (of which there are thousands).  I would ask the aunt and ask her if she would be willing to submit to a blood test.  The answers should be pretty obvious by their reactions.

You can get married, and then adopt a child. Former President Gerald Ford was adopted.\n\nDon't let your ego be so large that you transfer an incurable disease onto your child; that's selfish, mean, and almost sociopathic.

Ask your adopted parents. And/or the adoption agency.

Check with the adoption company he went through.

Absolutely......If your adopted parents can't help you with the name and address then you can request this through your local courthouse or through the attorney that handled the adoption. I wish you the best of luck with your marriage and your new life with your biological dad. I hope only for the best for you and your new spouse. Congrats!

Adoption is a loving choice. I would adopt if I had the financial means to do so. When a child is conceived by a young woman who thought she was old enough to handle the responsibilities of having sex, who is suddenly faced with the reality of raising a child, it takes a strong woman to admit that she is incapable of giving the child inside her the life it fully deserves. In instances that the government has taken the child from the parent(s) and is now placing the child for adoption, well, these are often cases where the parent(s) should have originally made the choice to place the child for adoption, but were too selfish or just plain blind, and couldn't see that they were unfit to raise a child. I think adopting a child is the most selfless and loving act a person could ever even consider. Raising another person's child is not an easy task to undertake. I would not go into an adoption thinking that life will be easy. You must raise that child to understand the role of birth parents and be willing to support them if they reach a point in their life that they desire to find their birth family. But, yes, I would adopt. In a heartbeat.
