I relinquished my parental rights only on the agreement that my mother would be the one to adopt.?

Question

adopt them. Recently she and her husband, (neither of whom have criminal backgrounds and both have fantastic jobs and plenty of room for my 3 children. The 3rd and final home assessment was done and they were DENIED, even though all tasks asked of them had been completed and were agreed by professionals in those fields. However the "consultant" that was subcontracted by the state to fulfill the assessment denied them due to concerns that professionals disagreed upon, and felt that the children were doing fine. This is an outrage and basic disregard for the original agreement for me to relinquish my rights. What in the world more can we do? Please help.

Answer 1

If you placed in the agreement a condition that only your mother can assume the children, and in the event for what ever reason  she did not

your parental rights remained unchanged. If you singed your rights away

with no such condition, your only option is to ask of who ever has the rights  at this time, to return your parental rights. Other wise your rights are gone.You might have a foundation to challenge in court, but if there is no written agreement there gone, but no agreement will ever dissolve the bond that  is between you and your children.Talk to a lawyer    

Answer 2

How did you relinquish your rights? Through the courts or an agreement with your parents? Sounds like someone changed their mind. I just read your ADD Info and wonder how you came to this conclusion. Almost sounds like you want to be able to have and see your kids when you want, but also be able to leave them whenever also.

Answer 3

get a good attorney.  you don't want the responsibility anymore?  try dealing with social services.   If you don't want the kids anymore they might be able to help you

Answer 4

Did your parents really want to adopt your three children and raise them so you didn't need to? Maybe they told the social worker that they have already raised their children and the kids may be doing fine just where they are right now. It sounds to me if you relinquished rights to your children, you have some serious issues. I would guess that they talked it over and decided they didn't want to take over where you left off.

Answer 5

It doesn't matter what you want or what you intended. It doesn't matter what your parents want. There are no written agreements that can supercede the law's requirement that the courts/state must act in the best interest of the child. Since you willingly relinquished your parental rights then the court/state will decide how best to care for your children.

You can get a lawyer but you won't be successful in fighting this.
