check with your state, but I would think 18
My children were both adopted out. At what age can I legally make contact with then. At what age are they considered an legal adult?
It all depends if the tribe is federally recognized. If they are, then your state should try to place the children with a trib member. If there is no one willing to take the child, your case worker can ask the tribes chief for permision to let a non indian adopt.
does anyone have experience with a foster paerant adopting a tribal child. i have heard lots of different stoires as to whether the indian tribe will allow adoption or not of tribal children. we have had three tribal siblings in our home for a year and parental right will be terminated in the next 90 days
Soooo im in foster care right now and i have been since i was six (im currently 17) and do you think i should still love my mom? i mean she gave me up when i was 2 because she was a druggie. I have 11 brothers and sisters and she figures as long as the state keeps taking them shes going to keep having them. She cares nothing for our family, she just got out of prison (again), and shes ruining their lives before they even start, just like she ruined mine. So plz reply i need an answer bad.
I would start a message on our message board (located on the front page) and I would ask the youth this question. But I would suggest that you do eventually tell him when he gets older. I'm just not sure about what age.
As a foster parent adopting a young child 3 yr old, should I tell him about his biological family when he gets older? He came to us a few months before his 2nd birthday. The situation he came from wasn't good, hence the reason he entered foster care. Either children or adults that have experienced this, it would be great to have some feedback.
yes...because i was adopted they gave no answers
Have you asked your caseworker or ILP yet?
can someone help me? I live in detroit and i'm currently looking for my biological family mainly my sister and brothers i know that i was the baby and they are at least between the ages of 25-20 but how do i go about finding them...i am 18
