Adoption
Is an agreement that restricts an adoption is legally valid in West Virginia?
My sister and I had an agreement which has a condition that, if I ever adopt a child, I will adopt her son only, and I will not adopt any other child. Now my wife and I plan to adopt another child in West Virginia. Can we adopt that child? Are we obliged to adopt my sister’s son as stated by the agreement?
Do the parents, who gave their son in adoption, have any legal right to know about him?
My husband and I are residents of West Virginia. Long back, we gave one of our twin children in adoption. Now we wish to see our other son, whom we gave in adoption. We asked his adoptive parents, but they denied. Do we have any legal right to see or know about him?
Does an adopted child have the legal right to know about his birth parents?
Hi, am a resident of West Virginia. I recently found out that I’m an adopted child. I feel its better late than never. I asked my mom and dad about my real parents. But my parents are still not ready to disclose who they are. Can my parents legally hide this information? Do I have the legal right to know about my real parents?
In adoption is it required to take the consent of the child if he is 12 years old?
I am thinking to adopt a 12-year-old boy. I have already had a couple of meetings with the child. Do we need to get his consent? Please tell us about the Montana law in this regard.
