Adoption
My husband and I raised our granddaughter from birth to age 15 and she now lives with her biological mother in another state....
My husband and I raised our granddaughter from birth to age 15 and she now lives with her biological mother in another state. We legally adopted her but would now like to have her biological mother be responsible for her. Can an adoption be undone? We really can't afford a whole big expensive thing here, but would like to not be responsible for a teenager who lives in another state.
When did the legal custody of our adopted daughter begin?
The state gave My wife and I permission to bring a 3 year old child whom we wanted to adopt into our home in March 2006. We provided medical care, enrolled her in kindergarden and took her to church. In September of 2007 the adoption was final and we were issued a birth certificate showing that she was our daughter.
My question is this. When did the legal custody begin? When we brought her into our home and began providing for her (2006), or when the adoption was finalized (2007)?
