I want to adopt my relatives baby?

Question

me and my husband can not have any babies so i wanted to be a gaurdian for my husbands brothers child and bring the baby to the uk. please any advise will be helpfull

Answer 1

adopt it

Answer 2

Family adoptions, if all adults are in agreement, can be wonderful.  It allows the adopted child(ren) to really know who they are and where they come from.  My daughter (a cousin and adopted) even has a looks like me.  If all are in agreement I would contact a lawyer for advice and adoption information.

Answer 3

If the parents is agreeing to give the child up to you then be my guest. I think it is a good idea.

Answer 4

you could adopt but go to a lawyer. Every state is different on laws and quilifications. family adoptions have to follow the same rules of adoptions as non family. (background checks, employment records, references, homestudies, interviews, etc)  But you also mention guardian. Being a guardian and adopting are 2 different things. Being the guardian still reguires the courts but its much easier.

Answer 5

well i adopted my friends baby after she committed suicide last year even though i have had her since birth. the only way you can adopt the baby is if the baby is up for adoption if not there is no way and if the baby is up for adoption you have to find out where the baby is like as in foster home then go from there. but you can't just take your brothers baby

Answer 6

PLEASE keep it in the family.  check out all the info on guardianship and adopting before doing either.

Answer 7

i would contact a lawyer before you do anything. but make sure that its in his field that way he can advise you on what exactly you should do
