Adoption finalized?
|
Once a judge finalizes an adoption does a letter go out to the birth parents stating their child has legally been adopted? This is an open adoption so it wouldn't matter but I'm curious. Both parents have signed they wish not to be in court for any reason when they signed their parental rights relinquishment papers.

having personally been in this situation i can tell you no the birth parent is not notified if they are paying child support up until the adoption is finalized then they will get a final bill stating how much back pay they owe but thats it |

That's a good question, I don't believe so, the relinquishment papers state the relinquishment date, plus, more times than not, the biological father cannot be located, so where would they send that document? I'm curious to hear the answers, as our adoption will not be finalized until October, and possibly, each state is different as well. |

Once the birthparents relinquish their rights, that is it. We were told that our daughter would be adopted right away, but she wasn't, she was 6 weeks old when someone adopted her and spent all that time in leg braces. We had no idea, until we found her. |

Nope, I don't think anything goes to the birth parents when you finalize. Usually finalization happens months after they relinquished their rights anyway- at that point they have no legal parental rights so there would be no need to notify them. The state the baby was born should be notified through court documents, though, so that they can process a new birth certificate reflecting the adoptive parents as mother and father. |

I have no idea. We adopted a child from Korea and she is 21 now. I would check with the attorney and ask this question. Enjoy you new baby and have a happy life. I can't beleive the little baby we got at 3 1/2 months is now an adult! Congratulations! |

No,once the birthparents sign their surrenders or relinquishments, they agree to having no more information sent to them regarding the adoption.
Now if the agency or attorney they work with chooses to give them information, that is another matter. |

My son's bparents were not notified of the finalization by the courts...though we told them as we also have an open adoption. |

No a letter does not go to the birth parents. Once the termination papers are signed that is all the info they get unless the adoption agency themselves chooses to let them know |

Nothing will be sent to the birth parents. Once their parental rights have been terminated, they have no standing in any court proceedings regarding the child. |

As far as I know, once you sign away your parental rights, thats the end of it. |
