Not only is it legal it is the humanitarian right course of action. In the United States, sadly the majority of children who are ( put up) for adoption were abandoned by their parents. War and accident orphans do occur, but are in the minority.
no
No..but the child can be adopted by a natural guardian
No. In order for your brother to adopt your child you and the other parent must consent to the adoption and then your parental rights will be terminated. Your brother would be the legal parent of the child. You cannot share legal custody with your brother.
only if your brother or sister adopts it
This would almost certainly not be legal anywhere.
I think that in any state you must be 18 years of age to adopt a child. However, your state may have laws about the requirements you need to adopt a child.
Yes it is possible. As long as their criminal record is clean, legal immigration status can be validated, you're ok.
Rosalie and Emmett do not adopt a child
It really isn't necessary. It's usually when a man marries a woman with a child that he may want to give the child HIS last name. If there is no mother in the picture then by all means seek legal counsel and adopt the child, but I think it's a waste of money. The child will know you as their mother no matter what.
Yes. As the legal parents of the mother, any child produced after the adoption becomes your legal grand-daughter.
If the child's parents are no longer in the legal picture, then there are steps to follow in order to adopt the child. Many foster children are in foster care while their parents get education, jobs and/or get off of drugs, so the child or children are not available for adoption.
No that would be selling your child which is illegal. An adoption have to go through a agency with all the legal papers filled in to be valid.
