Can an abandoned father, who has a reason for abandonment, challenge the adoption of his child without his consent?
I was released from a prison after a sentence of two years. When I came back to my house in West Virginia, I found that my wife's sister adopted my 3-year-old daughter. She said that she did this since there was no news from me. I didn’t make any contact because I was in jail. How can I challenge this in court?
Is there any legal requirement in the adoption of a child if he has attained 12 years of age?
My third son will attain 12 years of age after 4 months. My husband and I decided to give him in adoption to my sister since she doesn’t have a child. We live in West Virginia. My son may not be ready to go with them as he doesn’t like to be detached from his siblings. Somebody advised me that there will be legal obligations if he passed 12. Is it correct?
