Re: adoption
Hello. Under Illinois law,
adoptions are generally
final. However from a
practical point of view,
your daughter will soon have
reached the age of majority
and will be able to legally
make her own decisions which
seems to be her desire to
move with you. In an adoption
the birth certificate is altered and all parental
rights are legally terminated.
Therefore, I would suggests
waiting it out, until she
turns 18 and then she can
move with you.
