my son was adopted out at birth 6yrs ago,his mother didn’t tell me her plans or tell me that she had already had the baby so my name wasn’t on the birth certificate,he is now in foster care as his adoptive parents physically abused him,I have seen a solicitor and have a final court hearing set for the 16th of this month,I have heard reports of what his adoptive parents did to him the nextdoor neighbors reported that they had seen him being dragged out of the car by his hair,punched in the back of the head,called a spec(derogotory term for hispanic),had his pants pulled down and told to go p on the tree like the dog that he is,he was constantly hungry and weighs the same as my 3yr old son,I am seeking custody of him,I have a good paying job,stable home,custody of my other 2 children and can provide for him,the problem is he doesnt know me and would be moving to a new country
what are my chances for getting custody?
the neighbors have already testified,this hearing isnt going to involve his adoptive parents at all as they have already lost all rights and are now going to be charged with child abuse and neglect its between me and his foster parents,yes I have had a dna test already and he is mine without a doubt
Are you thinking about selling your home yourself? then
Are the neighbors going to testify at the hearing as to what they saw? Do you have or are you going to get a DNA test to prove he is your son? If so, I would think your chances are very good.
