Adoption
Is there any age restriction on a 62-year-old man in adopting a child?
I’m a 62-year-old grandfather. I lost my wife long ago in an accident. I’m leading a lonely life as my children settled far away. I think its high time that I must adopt a son or daughter. But I wanna know whether I can adopt someone at this age?
If I apply for adoption, will I be required to reveal my relationship status to the concerned authorities?
I wanna adopt a baby. I have a boyfriend but he seems to be not interested in adoption. If I apply for adoption in Oregon, will I be required to reveal my relationship status to the concerned authorities?
Do I need the consent of the child’s birth parents to adopt the child from his adoptive parents?

Status of the potential adoptive father upon his death before completion of adoption?
My husband and I live in New York City. We had filed for a petition with the adoption agency for adopting a child which is due next month but my husband died of heart attack last week. Since my husband and I were the two parties to the petition for adoption, will my husband still be considered as the legal parent of the adoptive child?
What is the law on withdrawal of petition from adoption?
