Neither of you are attys



Zig--SugarPlum--or whatever,

Neither of you are attorneys. If you were, you would not say "IF" doesn't cut it in the legal world - guffaw, guffaw!! The laws are open to intepretation, hello??? If I had a quarter for everytime I asked an attorney a direct question as to "standing" and heard, "It depends," well, then I would be one wealthy person!!

In an earlier post someone said, step-mom would NEVER get to adopt her step-daughter without bio mom's consent. All I am saying is, "It depends..."

(Plus, I reviewed PA statutes for same and saw that the courts can waive consent of the non-custodial parent - it just depends . . . .

Courts can waive consent in very limited, clearly defined circumstances.

I'm going to be more blunt. HUSH.

Open forum

Last I heard, this was an open forum. Talk to the hand.

Lighten up, Izzie

Hey, C'mon,

Why is there so much hostility on this forum? I wasn't wrong - I did my research and I believe the point was that it is POSSIBLE for a step-parent to adopt a step-child without having the consent of the non-custodial biological parent under certain conditions. That is the beauty of law, isn't it?

The OP didn't give us every detail of bio mom's issues - so how can anyone say NEVER or IMPOSSIBLE?

Anyway, I just joined this forum because it is helpful, and it is interesting and I thought maybe I could learn and I could also share. I don't get the hostility. I've been home nearly two months and in between chemo/radiation treatments I like to have some distraction and interaction with others. Seems if someone has a differing view or opinion (from the senior "click") they are bullied and ridiculed.

real nice, people.

Somewhere in a far away land in a qualified mental health facility, a bed is empty and the nurses are frantic because one of their most scariest patients has escaped.
