Adoption
The father acknowledged his paternity recently. For adopting the child, is the father’s consent necessary?
The father of the child (that we wish to adopt) acknowledged his paternity recently. Wouldn’t it be enough if we file for adoption with just the mother’s consent or do we need to get the father’s consent also in the case? Please tell me what the Arkansas law is in this regard.
Can a consent to adoption be withdrawn by the parents after the entry of a decree of adoption?
The parents had happily agreed to give their child in adoption to me. Now when I got an order from the court and the adoption got confirmed, the parents want to take their child back. Can they withdraw their consent now? We live in Arkansas.
Where is a petition for adoption filed?
I can’t conceive due to some medical issues. I’m planning to go for adoption. Where do I file the petition for adoption?
For adoption purposes, in what cases do we need to get the consent of the child?
For adoption purposes, when do we need to get the consent of the child as well? I am planning to adopt a 10-year-old girl. Will I need to get her consent as well? We live in Arkansas.
In adoption, is the consent of the parent who abandoned or deserted the child, required?
I am thinking of adopting a child whose mother is a cancer patient. The father of this child left when this child was born, as he didn’t want the baby. Do I need to locate the father and get his consent for adoption?
