What was the "pretense"? And why couldn't you understand it...do you have a cognitive disability of some sort? When was the parental termination done?

While it's nice that you identified your state, you provided zero facts and didn't ask a question. The subject header of your post isn't even a complete sentence. It's a largely unintelligible sentence fragment: "If a person in WV reliquishes [sic] their [sic] rights to their [sic] children under pretenses they [sic] disnt [sic] fully understand due to the inability to fully understand the. . . ."

What does "relinquishes [his/her] rights" mean? How did this person "relinquish[] [his/her] rights"? In general, it is not possible for a person to voluntarily relinquish his/her parental rights unless it is in connection with the adoption of the child by someone else.

What are the "pretenses" you are talking about? Why didn't the person fully understand those pretenses?

Here is a link to West Virginia Legal Aid on termination of parental rights in West Virginia:

Parental rights can only be terminated in cases of abuse or neglect or adoption. Parental rights can only be terminated by a court.

It is pretty clear from the meager context, and similar posts, that someone who says they 'relinquished parental rights' are usually referring to a situation where they did not contest charges of abuse or neglect.

Or were very young and the grandparents convinced them to do so because of health insurance purposes or some other pretext. I have also seen young people say things like relinquished their parental rights when they actually only gave custody to a grandparent or other relative.
