It sounds as though your rights were terminated without your consent. If that's the case, then you just have to ask nicely, because it's completely up to the adoptive parents whether they allow visits or not. The prevailing thought on adoptions is that it is good for kids to have some... View More

You should check your contract to see if there are any provisions that cover reimbursement for out of pocket expenses. Even if there aren't any, you should make a written request for reimbursement for the out of pocket expenses you've had to incur as a result of this error.
