Answer 2

Answer 3

lawyer

Answer 4

You will need an attorney. Pure and simple.

Answer 5

It depends on the state and you should contact an attorney, but most likely you can't get the child back.  If you signed relinquishment papers, then you usually can't just take that back and change your mind, unless you can prove that your aunt is an unfit parent or that it would be in the BEST interest of the CHILD to be back with you.

Answer 6

Depends on your state.

Plain and simple You Need An Attorney

Answer 7

well if the aunt isn't giving the baby back then she is attached to the baby and stuff it will be hard and it will be costly with lawyer that is only way take care.

Answer 8

Get a lawyer. Why did you let her have your kid in the first place? She may prove you unfit. All i can say is call a lawyer.

Answer 9

The fact that you just called your child "IT" says it all.  And besides if you signed that paper giving your aunt that child it is gonna take an attorney which is lots of legal fees, and you are gonna have to work extra hard to prove that you are able to take care of that child. Please know that your child is not a toy you can't just give him or her away and just want him or her back.  You didn't even tell why you want your child back it could just be because you see someone else taking better care of your child than you can do and your jealous. Think of the child not yourself.  Good luck in whatever you do and God Bless!

Answer 10

First of all why do you want to take this baby back? And did you sign any paper when you gave this baby to her? If you really want this baby back then go get a lawyer.

Answer 11

I would think a good start would be the agency you started the adoption with.  You probably need a lawyer.  Will your aunt contest giving the baby back?  Also, why do you want the baby back?  I am not trying to be the bad guy here because I admire your wanting to raise your baby but there must have been a reason you wanted to put the baby up for adoption to begin with.  Have the circumstances changed?  Good luck.  I hope everything turns out for the best for everyone involved.

Answer 12

In most states there are stipulations in the law that states a birth parent can resend the adoption within a certain period of time but it's usually no more than 30 days.  After that point it's pretty much a done deal.  Your best bet is to contact an adoption attorney regarding the specific laws to your states.

Answer 13

I had a best friend in high school who let her aunt adopt her child, then reclaimed her. It hadn't been 7 months, but I don't know what the time limit for contesting adoptions is where you are. My friend, btw, is a wonderful person and a great mom. Taking her child back didn't mean she was going to abuse it, or neglect it, or anything of the sort. It just meant that when she was pregnant she had a lot of people filling her head full of doubt as to whether or not she could be the best mother of this baby, and eventually convinced her that her aunt was better than she was. Turns out all of those people were wrong. Your child may have attached to your aunt for 7 months, but he/she attached to you for 9 months in utero and no one minded her taking him from you and breaking that mother/child bond, did they?

What I would do, first, in your shoes is to go to http://www.origins-usa.com and talk to the women there who can give you some great advice and help you find a lawyer. Next, I would contact a lawyer and let them know that you would like to reclaim custody of your child and the events leading up to the adoption. Have you spoken to your aunt and uncle about this? If not, you may want to do that also so it doesn't come as too big a shock for them. They may try to keep you away from your child though after you make your plans known, or try to close the adoption, so be careful. Ask your lawyer if there is anything you can do to make sure the adoption remains open. I'm sure that when people were talking to you about giving your baby to your aunt and uncle, they told you that at least you could see him all the time and know how he's doing...see how well that works on them. Something tells me the lines that were used on you aren't gonna fly far with them, but at least you'll see how much BS it was.

I wish you the very best of luck.

Answer 14

I agree-depends on the state and there laws!!!! do your research and find an attorney, if you can't find any attorney call your local social services office and see if they have a list of  attorneys who do pro bono work and can help you.

Answer 15

If the adoption is not finalized then you do have some rights left. You will need to contact an attorney if you decide that you really do want your child back. Unfortunately, the courts may find in favor of your Aunt even after you contest the adoption. It will be a LONG and expensive journey. There is no guarantee that your child will ever legally be yours again.

Think about the reasons you want to get your child back. Are they in the best interest of you (will it make you feel better?) or the best interest of the baby? You should only contact an attorney if it TRULY is in the best interest of your baby. Your birth child has now bonded for seven months with your Aunt.  It will be difficult for everyone involved if you choose to try and stop the adoption process.

Best of Luck!

Answer 16

If the adoption is not finalized then this is still your child.  Contact originsusa.org for advice and support

Answer 17

I think you should take a good long look at your situation and ask your self what has changed in the last seven months. And are you really capable of raising your baby. Besides you would be breaking a bond that was there between the two.

Answer 18

It's not totally impossible to get the child back but it all depends on the whole situation...was social services involved? Did you voluntarily give up the child or was he/she taken thru social services?  Have your parental rights been terminated yet or did you just verbally agree to give the child to your aunt? Do they have legal custody?  How much contact or how much of a relationship do you have with the child?  Most important, think about whats right for the child.

Answer 19

are you doing what's best for the child? the best thing you could do is give that child the best home life. if your aunt has some problem that prevents her from giving the child the best home, then you should try to get the child back. if you've just "changed your mind" and are still in the same situation that lead you to give the child up, then show the ultimate in love and courage and allow that child to have the very best. that's true selfless love! i applaud all mothers/fathers who love their child so much that they give them up for adoption.

Answer 20

i think "it" is the adoption that is 7 months old, everyone
