Question

Hey, would anyone be able to tell me the legal rights that adoptive parents have in Qld? Cheers.?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I don't know about Queensland's laws, but in the US, adoptive parents have every right a biological parent would have had once the adoption is finalized.  More importantly, the child has every right as well.  This means he is considered just as a biological child for all things, including inheritance, etc.  In fact, in the US, once an adoption is finalized, a new birth certificate is issued to the child listing the adoptive parents as his parents just as if they had given birth to him.  

Good luck - hope you can find the info you need about Queensland.

Answer 2

Anytime you are looking for anything, simply type in the phrase and location, in this case, "adoption Queensland" and up pops the info!  (People who post online really don't know this??)  Anyway, here it is:

Good luck!
