Q: Can I be adopted by my living biological mother since my adoption in Iowa at age 3 cannot be overturned??
I was placed in foster care in September 1983, after my biological father xxx, along with his sister Deborah Zumwalt and his sister in law xx lied to a corrupt young CPS investigator in Iowa, accusing my biological mother of drunkenness, illicit drug use etc., even though my biological father has a criminal record and had a criminal record for possession of drugs and paraphernalia at the time. My mother was not allowed the chance to defend herself and the investigator made his bonus for taking me, and it was all sealed airtight. My adoptive parents both drank alcohol and got high themselves both when I was a foster child and after adoption. My mother Paula was lied to as well from the IA Dept of Social/ Human Services telling Paula if she signed me over to the State, I would be going to a doctor and a nurse. My adoptive mother had barely a high school diploma and my adoptive father had an 8th grade education. My mother Paula has a 10th grade education.
A: The short answer is, "Maybe". There are factors that need to be addressed and then it is all up to a judge.
