Q: What can you do about coercive adoptive parents? Things didn’t turn out how they promised.
If a married couple adopts a child; promising the birth mother that she will be involved in her child’s life, and afterwards not following through or even wanting a relationship with the birth mother is that coercion? What can she do legally?
A: Whether you have any grounds to overturn the adoption would depend on the specifics facts of your case. There is not enough information in your inquiry to determine that. I suggest you speak to a family law firm to determine your options.
A: This really comes down to the facts of your specific case. You should consult with an attorney who can review those facts in detail and present you with options. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
