Best Answer

In the case of a kinship adoption, which is generally done with the consent of the parties, you should contact an attorney who specializes in adoptions. States have various laws regarding adoptions and there may be social services involvement such as evaluations and in some states, the adoptive parents must register as foster parents. An attorney will help you navigate the process in your state with the least difficulty.

The fact at a child is really unhappy has nothing to do with whether that child can be adoped. If a child has a family, the only way the child can be adopted is if all living parents agree in writing to permit it, or the child is removed by the state from the family because of child endangerment or something similar.
