Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: adoption

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It might not be too late. You need to take immediate action, however. You should retain an attorney and try to undo what you have done immediately before the matter progresses too far. It will be up to a court to make a final determination, but judges will usually allow a birth mother to change her mind if an adoption is not yet final.

Re: adoption

Of course, the Guardian Ad Litem represents the interest of the child and the three days are there for a cooling-off period in case you change your mind. That said, you still can go to Court and explain your situation. I would strongly adivse you see an attorney who handles these type of matters right away so the attorney can file an appropriate motion, or, if indigent, the Court will appoint one for you.
