Adoption

My daughter is thinking about letting her father and I (mother) adopt her baby girl as we are the grandparents. What's the first thing I should do? She is working and starting her career, sadly she doesn't have time for the baby. What do I do?

I need to find out what the names of the forms are for revocating or undoing an adoption that took place 9 years ago. I am now a legal adult and wish to resume my preadoptive information on my birth certificate and I do know both of my legal preadoptive parents.

I have a minor child (14) who is going to have a baby. The father is also 14. Who is this baby's legal guardian? How do I get guardianship without the father's permission?

I have a 12 yr-old step-daughter that I would like to adopt. I have been married to her mother since the child was 2. Her biological father does not see her on a regular basis but still pays the court ordered child support. Is it legal for me to adopt her and what process needs to be taken?

I have questions about an adoption and name change for my 16 year old daughter. My husband, who is legally her stepfather, has been her provider and father since we started dating in 1993 and were later married in 1995. We have been married for almost 12 years and he is the only father that she knows. Her biological father has not provided for her since 1993 and has been in jail for about 7 years now. In the past I was afraid to initiate adoption procedures because I thought her biological father might oppose and that the court might give him some partial custody or that he might threaten our lives. Now that she is older and he is in jail for some time I would like to know the procedures for adoption and also for a name change. Do I need his approval for the adoption procedure or even for a name change?
