Adopting my son back
my parents adopted my son when he was about 5, at 9 they sent him back to live with me. they thought i had a more stable environment for him. he has now been with me and my family (husband, and 3 other siblings) for about 2 1/2 years now. we want to make it permanent now....i need to know how to go about it though.

Re: Adopting my son back
You need an ORDER vacating the adoption. This requires a petition. Filing fees are $196.00, attorney fees if uncontested should be under
$ 1,000.00. Please call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

You can easily adopt your child back from your parents assuming they will sign consents to the adoption. You need to file a petition for adoption in the county in which you reside. If you need help preparing the forms you may call me at (800) 955-9504 or email me directly at [email protected]

I don't think that you can vacate the adoption and even if you could you could have complications. The best suggestion is to adopt your son with your parents giving consent. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
