It is not very likely. The child is now legally the child of the adopting parents. Giving up the rights makes it difficult to get them back.
Guardianship, not custody
No.No.No.No.
I think it depends on how long the mother will be incarcerated for. There might be a hearing giving the father temporary custody. But if the father ever tries to get full physical custody of the child in the future, it might not be good for the mother. However, she can never be refused visitation.
Of course, but it best to do it using a mediator.
You need a letter from the other parent giving permission. Otherwise you risk having difficulty either leaving or returning.
not an easy thing to do. see link below
No, this has to be done legally through the court system. Go to a paralegal to fill out forms and get them notarized.
No. If the child's' mother calls the police you could loss custody of your child and possible go to jail. If I was you I would contact a lawyer who specializes in child custody cases. If you can get a notarized letter from the mother saying it is okay and giving you full custody.
The father would need to petition the court for the termination of parental rights. Such a request is generally granted only when a child is to be legally adopted by a new spouse or person(s) approved by the court. A parent will not be granted a TPR decree if the reason is to be relieved of his or her financial obligations in the matter.
I know in Montana that if there is another party to adopt the child, that the mother has to contact the biological father in several ways even if he is not listed on the BC. Either by newspaper in the law section, or written letter. And if the father does not respond, then it means you have giving up your parental rights, and the child is able to be adopted.
Your odds are just as good as anyone else's. There is a new trend of family courts taking children from mothers and giving them to fathers. If you make any kind of alleghation against the father, the courts will say you are trying to alienate the father and give custody to him. If you don't accuse him of anything, they will say that he is a good father and give custody to him. Fathers who actually fight for custody win 80% of the time. Don't believe the hype. If you fight him, you will probably lose.
Open adoption is when the biological mother/father, and their child are still allowed to meet and see eachother, even after the adoption process is complete. Closed adoption is when the biological mother/father of the baby can see their child for a year after the adoption. They can send pictures, letters, etc. After the one year, they have no contact with them, until the child is 18.
