Can someone help me understand something? Its pretty important to me, but I was wondering if someone can help me understand more of where someone else would come from on the other side. So here goes. Well I feel the adoptionn my son was put through was illigal, I mean the adoptive mom tricked me, and she didnt tell me the actual date of when court was. i just feel that my son didn't get a fair chance. I did want to have contact with my son at least to know he is ok. And not only that, I still feel so sad during mothers day not knowing how my son is, or if he is ok. so what i'm asking is if there has been an illegal adoption, what can i do about it?

If you feel your child was adopted illegally, go speak to a lawyer. Nobody better to guide you through the process, or to answer your questions.
I have adopted twice, and birthfamily is not made aware of the adoption finalization court date because, by the finalization date, parental rights have already been terminated.

I have a question.. which court date were you unaware of? Your court date is when you give up parental rights. its called TPR. This cannot happen without you, as far as i know. You need to stand before a judge and give up your rights to parent. if your documents were forged, then by all means, you have cause to overturn the adoption - or at least sue
The adoption finalization has nothing to do with you, as your parental rights were previously terminated and you are legally a stranger to the child.

In some states you have to go before a judge in order to have your rights terminated; in others you can do so outside court, but there is still a court date for the judge to grant that termination, where it is possible to contest your signature. However, at least in my state the adoptive parents don't get to know when the TPR court date is, since they are not involved with that, and the birth parents don't get told when the finalization date is, since, as previous posters have said, their rights have already been terminated. Was it an agency or a lawyer that you went through? They might be a place to start with at least asking questions.

First, I'm so sorry that you're going through this.
Second, can you answer a few questions so we can try to help. . . .
1. Did you go through an agency, or an attorney for the adoption? How did you find the Amom?
2. What state are you in?
3. Did you voluntarily sign the document terminating your parental rights?
4. How did the amom trick you? Was it in not maintaining contact? Or was there something else?
5. As others have said, which court date were you not aware of? The one terminating your rights? Also, it wouldn't have been the amom's place or responsibility to tell you even of that one. It would have been the attorney's.
