Adoption

I have two adopted boys who were my foster children first. I adopted them in California and have now moved to Elko, Nevada and have been denied medicaid because my husband makes too much money. The boys case worker sent me a paper stating that the federal law states that the state they move to has to provide them with insurance. I would not care if they both did not have serious medical problems. The one has been hospitalized in a mental hospital three times and once for a month. The other child only has one functioning kidney and will need surgery to remove the other one soon as it is giving him high blood pressure. Is there any thing I can do? The one with mental issues has medicine that costs $200.00 per month.

If a child is legally adpoted and the biological father gave up all legal rights, is this child considered the biological fathers 'issue' at time of the death of the bio father.

I am a minor and my father died. My mother married another man and they have decided that he will adopt us. I would like to know if it is possible to keep my deceased father's family name and not take on my step-father's family name or if I have to take it to change it back to what it was. Is this possible?

My question is I have a stepson from my wifes previous marriage. He today is 3 years old and my wife and I have benn married for 2 years. His father passed away this past summer.I am looking to adopt my stepson but my wife and I are on one income.I was wondering if I could repersent myself in court and if it would be to difficult. thanks jon
