Nullification of an Adoption

[cdmom74]

What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I know that it is possible for an adoption to be Nullified in this state ( I have contacted Vital statistics and they have hear of this being done). I do not know how to word a petition to the court to have this done. I am really stumped on this. I want to petition the court to have my adoption nullified and my original birth certificate reinstated. If anyone can help with this it would be wonderful.

Under what legal basis? What defect in the adoption process was there?

[cdmom74]

I have no relationship with my stepfather (whom my mother divorced when I was 18 and I am now 32). I have a wonderful relationship with my biologicial father. It hurts him to no be my legal father. It also hurts his parents (I am very close to them). I was 9 when I was adopted and I don't think it was fair to my father (biological father). He consented to it but felt bad about having to do it.

That is NOT a legal basis to undo the adoption. Biokids also may grow apart from their parents - that is not a legal reason to undo their parentage.

Nice that dad is now back AFTER stepdad finished the financial responsibility- biodad could have fought the adoption, and had he done so it would not have happened.

If you want dad to adopt you, as an adult you have that option and need no permission.

To rescind the adoption, there would need to be a legal reason (such as a problem with the adoption process whereby it was not done in compliance with the state statutes) not an emotional one.

If you want to consider an adult adoption please consult a local attorney. Its not simple and has ramifications that you might not want...unless both of your biological parents are willing to cooperate with the adoption. You might gain your biological father as your legal father, but you might lose your mother as your legal mother.

My mother knows this is something that I want to do and is supporting me. My biological father couldn't fight it because he lives in Calif. and was under the impression that he would have to come to Louisiana to come to court to fight it. He was told that my mother had to advertise it in the newspaper and that he could go to court to fight it. That would have been a large expense. My father (biol) paid child support until my mother had my stepfather adopt me. So it has NOTHING to do with my step father finishing the financial responsiblities. I thank you for the advise. I will take in consideration what you have said.

Why insult the stepfather that raised you? Does he deserve this just so your bio dad can get over his guilt? Maybe your mother let your step father adopt you because back then she knew your bio would not provide emotional and financial securtiy for you and he would. Your adoptive father took on full responsibility for you even if he and your Mom had divorced and that is a big risk and a loving thing to do. Also, if you have children think of the future loss or gains they will have. Maybe they would be more secure with the adoptive grandfather than the bio one. It is just a piece of paper now for you and your bio dad but has serious legal issues for your kids. Check it out with a lawyer. Just let your bio dad adopt you as an adult.

You could start your own thread.

And then you could work on being coherent.

And you can thank me for not even addressing your ignorance.

What'd really suck is all the back and forth as the parents and kids change their minds over time.

Ain't that the truth!

At five:

"I'm daddy's little princess. I want to marry him when I grow up."

At 13:

"My dad is a jerk. It sucks having him tell me what to do."

At 17:

"My mom is impossible! I want to live with Dad, at least he understands me."

At 28:

"Mom, I so love it that you're coming out here to help us with the baby! What would I do without you!"

Blah. Blah, Blah......

Maybe her parent's coven cast an incoherency spell on her! Or maybe she just drank too much of that boxed wine.

Shut up wiccans, this is for REAL lawyers, you know that have something called a jurisprudence degree. By the way, I would be happy to send their "family" to you so they would leave me alone. Anyway, the male wiccan, as I was trying to say, (comma) was acting like "it" didn't know what I was talking about when "it's" fellow wiccans threatened me. I need help, (comma) no I am not a drunk, (comma) I don't drink (alcohol) that is. People are quick to judge when they do not have bad things happening to them, or maybe that's it. Their wiccan and hate GOD and say "f-you" to It. Real lawyers, (comma) please help.
