Legal Question in Family Law in California
Caretaker in Adoption Proceedings
This is a re-post (recommended by the attorney who first answered it.)
My in-laws are trying to adopt the 1 year old son of my sister-in-law, who had her parental rights terminated by the state (CA). They want to designate me and my husband as caretakers in the (likely) event they are unable to care for him in the future. What are my obligations if I accept this responsibility in order to allow their adoption to proceed? I do not wish to raise this child. I have never seen him, and we do not live in the same state, nor do we have a close relationship with the family.

Re: Caretaker in Adoption Proceedings
As previously stated you would be agreeing to become the parents of the child if the grandparents are not able to fulfill their obligation to care for him.
