FAQ
Contact Agreements Most open adoptions involve a contact agreement between the parties. In California, this agreement is enforceable when it's in writing and filed with the court. This agreement outlines the type of contact the parties will have in the future, when it will happen, and how.
Stepparent adoptions can take as little as six months from start to finish. If consents are not readily obtained and termination proceedings are required, it will take longer, but can typically be completed within one year from commencing the process.
In an agency adoption, depending on the workload of the agency selected, it will take anywhere from six months to a year to complete an adoption family assessment. Most adoptive placements occur one to several months after the family assessment has been approved.
The Social Security Administration Guidelines have changed in recent years and allow any child that is adopted to obtain a new Social Security Number after an adoption. Significantly, there are no exclusions for older children or children adopted by grandparents.
Therefore, the only way a birth parent could reclaim custody of an adopted child is by proving to a court that the decision to sign the relinquishment document was done under fraud or duress. In most cases a court will automatically deny custody to a birth parent when their parental rights have been terminated.
For independent adoptions, you have 30 calendar days after signing the consent to change your mind. However, if you signed a Waiver of the Right to Revoke Consent in front of a judge, your consent is immediately irrevocable, and you cannot change your mind.
Adoption Certificates Once the Adoption Order is granted the child is legally adopted by you and you have full parental responsibility for him or her. The child is now a full member of your family and can take your surname. Some adopters like to add a forename also.
This may surprise you but not every adoption is permanent in California. Under certain circumstances, you can terminate an adoption by asking the court to reverse the adoption order. The process is referred to as a vacation or annulment. The child's natural parents or the adoptive parents can file a reversal petition.
Revocation in Independent Adoptions For independent adoptions, you have 30 calendar days after signing the consent to change your mind. However, if you signed a Waiver of the Right to Revoke Consent in front of a judge, your consent is immediately irrevocable, and you cannot change your mind.
Birth parents can ask the court to revoke a Placement Order in certain circumstances and can also ask the court for leave to appeal against an Adoption Order. If leave is granted to appeal, then in some situations an Adoption Order may be overturned.
