Is it true once your adoptive child turn 18 their biological mom can adopt them back?

because once the papers are signed they terminated there rights am i right or wrongIs it true once your adoptive child turn 18 their biological mom can adopt them back?
Obviously, if the ADULT who was adopted as a child wishes to be, they can be adopted by ANYONE who agrees to adopt them...not just their natural parent(s).





To those who think that adults cannot be adopted, I am speaking for the United States. There are a few exceptions, but ALMOST EVERY state in the US will allow for adult adoptions.





The termination of parental rights when the adoptee was a MINOR is irrelevant, as the ADULT adoptee can consent to his/her own adoption by anyone -- TPR only lasts until the minor child of the parent who was ';terminated'; becomes an adult.





Check the laws of your own state (if you are in the US) as adoption of every kind (including adults) is under state jurisdiction.





Also see the link below. There are many natural parents who have adopted-back their adult sons/daughters after losing them early in their life.





Take care!Is it true once your adoptive child turn 18 their biological mom can adopt them back?
Once a person is an adult, they can chose to have anyone they want adopt them, however, the bio-parents (or anyone else for that matter(, could only adopt an 18 year old with that person's permition.





Basically, once a child is 18, whether he/she was adopted or not, the can legally make their own choices, even if the means ';disowning'; their parents and having someone else adopt them. It's not really very common, and their would usually be a very good reason for it. (like if adoptive parents were abusive, and the bio-parents were forced/ tricked into relinquishing the child) This could also happen with a biological child too, there are many people who've been adopted by a step-parent as an adult.
Yes, once the papers are signed then rights are terminated... HOWEVER, once the child turns 18 they are an adult (in most areas, the age maybe different in other areas) and they are legally able to determine the course of their own life.





I'm sure, in some instances, there have been adult adoptees who have chosen, for what ever reason, to be adopted by their biological parents and as an adult they can make that decision. I don't think it's a common occurrence however I'm sure someone here will clarify.





I know there are plenty of cases where people who were not adopted as children/infants choose to be adopted as adults for other legal reasons too.
Jerry?? You are mistaken...in the event of an adoption, when parental rights are terminated or relinquished and some amount of time (in some states) has lapsed....it is final....the ';blood parent'; cannot come get them.





Now to the question asked. Once a person turns 18, in most states anyway, they are an adult. The decision to be adopted by the natural parents would be up to the new-adult and would be an adult adoption.
Yes, adults are free to choose whom they decide they want to be legally related to. This applies to adoptees or any other adult. Details depend on state law. PLUS in some places such as Florida there have been cases of adoptees out-right annulling their adoptions (see link below)





Anyone who promises you that adoption is a ';lifetime guarantee'; is trying to sell you something. Adoption is not like giving birth. If you adopt, be prepared to have another set of parents *potentially* involved in ';your'; child's life at some point. Especially as VERY seldom do mothers ';give away'; their babies because that child is ';unloved'; or ';unwanted.'; The truth is that most of us never wanted to surrender our babies, but often had no other option. Especially if the resources/support we required to raise them were denied to us or otherwise unavailable. Common saying: ';We may have had to sign away our 'parental rights,' but we never signed away our love or our motherhood.';





I adopted back my son and I know several other families that have been restored this way as well. If you cannot live with this possibility, if you don't feel comfortable with it, then don't adopt.

p.s. With an open adoption where the child feels they have 4 loving parents and where contact is frequent and loving and in-person, like in a ';blended family,'; i don't see a child raised in this situation wanting to be ';adopted back.';
The biological Mom many have terminated her rights to PARENT a CHILD. They did not sign any agreement stating that they would never know their ADULT child.





Yes. Adults can conduct their own affairs upon reaching the age of majority - even adoptees and their Moms.
There would be no sense in doing that. At 18 the person is an adult and not in need of being adopted. I would say, no, the biological mom cannot adopt them back.
I don't see why not. They could at least go back to their original name. Anyone can change their name...I did.
Yes, but it depends on the laws of the state where you reside.
Well, the only way that would be possible, was if the adopted child chose for the birth parents to become legal gaurdian. And that's only because they have turned 18, and can choose to make whatever decisions they want. They actually wouldn't become re-adopted, probably just take on a new last name.
sadly...the blood parent of the child can take the child back anytime they want. not just when their 18.
How can this be when you are considered an adult at 18? Not true!
oh my. NO.
