[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While there are thousands and thousands of happy, near perfect adoption stories, be aware that there is a percentage of adoptions that can go terribly wrong. I know this seems like an obvious, but you really and truly need to be prepared that things could fall apart or be a difficult journey, particularly around parental rights. People are quick to say “oh just adopt” but it’s really such a complex process in so many ways.

My sister adopted a baby boy whose parents had signed away legal parental rights before he was born and adopted. When he was three months old, the father said he changed his mind and filed a lawsuit to disrupt the adoption. My nephew is now four years old, the lawsuits have been going on for almost 4 years, my sister is $230,000 in debt for attorneys fees and add to sell her house and move in with our parents, and while she will fight to the bitter end for her son, she lives in constant fear he will be taken from her. This is of course not standard but it is a possibility. My sister’s advice is to ask your agency if you can speak with prior clients who had both good and complicated experiences with adoptions, just to get a better sense of possibilities.[/quote]
How can parents sign away rights before baby is born?
There is something illegal and shady in that adoption. A parent cannot dispute an adoption. I think it is only possible before the adoption is finalized.
