[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Buzzfeed article with quotes from the Ohio State Agency (they are not involved in the process) and the adoption agency (no comment but the spokesperson was critical of Myka).

She made an agreement with an individual person? Like a PP said, is that legal? There should be strict laws prohibiting child swapping. If there is no home study, or at least a background check, there are no safeguards in place to protect a child. Wtf. That is outrageous. Her and her husband are beyond disgusting. [/quote]

YES, legal. Horrifying but legal. So, so wrong and should be stopped, but the laws are complicated. Read this series (mentioned earlier in the thread) for more on how legal and shockingly common this is. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/adoption/#article/part1 You won’t be able to put the series down, but it will also make you sick.

:shock:  this is horrific. People should not be able to trade children like this. I don't know much about the adoption process through the proper process, but I hope this is not what she did to get rid of Huxley. Children need to be protected. [/quote]

She must have it takes years to be adopted, so if he is being fostered there is no way you can say that is his "forever family" because they are foster parents! Also, you don't hand select them, it is who the state has vetted and has availability![/quote]

According to BuzzFeed "Val Turner, a spokesperson for the family's local child protection agency, Franklin County Children Services, confirmed to BuzzFeed News that Huxley is not in its custody."

It looks like Myka did a very quick adoption post home study.  The new adoption can be very quick depending on the state rules given the Stauffer's will consent to the adoption.  They just have to sign consent forms and the adoptive parents attorney or agency file for adoption.  He could be adopted by now.  Ours took 3 months but only because we had a bad attorney and had to change attorneys.  Once we had a new attorney it was very quick.  Five minute court hearing.

The child may have been placed with a private agency who has temporary homes.  In some agencies they have babies (or kids) go into a "foster" home for 30 days until the revocation period before they go to their new families.  We ruled out agencies requiring that as we didn't want someone else caring for our child.

If they did a private adoption, its as simple as them handing over the child, signing consents and the adoptive family filing with the court for adoption.  If the family didn't have a home study, depending on the state they'd have to get one either though the court or privately.  But, we did private.

Legally they should have filed with ICPC, but that's just paperwork saying the intent to place a child across state lines and many don't do it.[/quote]
