Rights of bio great grandparents

They might to adopt the kids if they pass a home study. Or they might be willing to let u adopt, if they get an open adoption.

They have been denied by a judge for custody. We are supposed to sign papers by the end of the month but I am not signing if those requirements are added.

Its hard to say, even though I doubt he will.

I do think some judges encourage some form of open adoption. This one might.

Are you opposed to any visitation with the great grandparents or just not interested in committing to having to do it monthly? If you are just concerned about it being too much you might be able to negotiate and set a schedule that you feel comfortable with, such as once or twice a year.

That would essentially be an open adoption agreement? If your state has those, it could be a possibility that it could go in the papers, though I can't imagine a judge doing that. I know it would NEVER happen here as my state does not recognize open adoption. And no matter what was agreed to before adoption, even if in writing, is not enforceable post adoption. I do love that about my state. We do happen to have visits with some bio family, but I love that the state feels that I am the parent and I can decide who my children see and don't see just as any birth parent would. The only way I would agree to such thing is if there was "out" for inappropriate behavior or it was no longer in the best interest of the child.

I'm glad to hear you open to some form of open adoptions. I know CPS tries to encourage it sometimes. But not sure they would put it in the adoption papers. The sad they is some foster parents promise picture and visits, but once the adoption is final. They don't follow with their promises. Some just promise this to get the parents off their back. Which I find sad and it will back fire when the kid tries to get in contact with their parents.

It would NEVER happen here without your permission. Why are they even privy to your adoption? Talk to your adoption lawyer if you have questions.

depending on their prior relationship (were they bonded? are they used to seeing their BGGPs regularly?), i can see the court proving some visitation prior to finalization However, I don't see the court forcing a visitation on anyone We were strongly encouraged to keep our DD connected with her brother (they shared a bunk bed their entire life and were/are extremely close).. but even that request was not forced on us The state's priority to legal orphans (kid's post tpr and pre-finalization are called this in the state i adopted from) is finding them a good home. Given the risk that that home might refuse to adopt if pushed to agree to something, judges proceed with caution I agreed (via mediation) to 4 visits a year with J's BM.. the court recommended that i think about this before agreeing.. even quarterly visits can feel excessive at times There's no way that court would have agreed to monthly visits for 15 years :p
