Can someone back me find law for questioning for an adopt child?
Hi,
I am trying to locate laws and punishments for people searching for a birth child back they turn 18. So far I'm having very little luck besides "charged with harassment" or "simple misdemeanor". Any websites would be great! =)
You've about found all the law that there are that may apply in a situation such as this.
Of course, if the child is a minor you would be wise to contact the parents first or you may find yourself have to, if not answer to charges, at least answer questions from authorities if the parents complain. You may be considered to be attempting to lure a child or, as you register, harassment.
Open adoption agreement or not, I don't believe the actual looking is illegal in any sense however, as I stated, near may be issues with the unauthorized (by the parents) contact with a child that is officially no longer yours.
I'd proceed with caution. Besides, why burn bridges that you may want in tact once the child turns 18.
There are no laws preventing innate birth parents from looking for their child. The laws are for basic harassment solitary so until they violate those laws they can't be charged. They shouldn't be able to locate their child unless they requested an open adoption and if they did consequently it is their right to locate the child. If it was a closed adoption then they should not be able to make a purchase of information on that child at all and if they did then your lawsuit should be with the adoption agency to be exact giving that information out illegally.

There really isn't any, It would be a misdemeanor, and if the under age said Stop calling me etc. it could be maltreatment or stalking. But nothing serious.
I've never see laws against searching, however, legally a parent who have placed a child for adoption (unless in an open adoption situation that's enforceable by law, which most of the time isn't), however, when a parent places a child, they lose any parental rights, and by imperative are basically considered a "stranger" to the child.
In many cases of foster care loss, first parents are forbidden to scour for their children, and there's often court orders against it. Most states have an adoption registry where on earth the parent can sign up that they want to be found, and the child can too, and when the two applicants are matched, a social worker reunites them.
Any parent has the right to keep any adult from contact beside their child. If a first parent is ever told to not have contact with the child, and continues to try, many charges range from harassment, stalking, and even assault if the person tries to harm the child by scare them severely.
Many first parents are having good luck through things like myspace.com, and facebook. It usually take two to find each other though. I'd never recommend contacting a child without trying the parents first.
Answers: Its not criminal. Harassment and stalking are, but there are laws for that.
Perhaps let the child prefer what information and/or contact is desired. I would have been so happy to know my bio loved ones when I was a kid and would have been really barmy if I found my Adoptive parents had chased them away! Source(s): American Adoptee in the UK
