Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My boyfriends brother adopted our son in '07. We feel like we were robbed and lied to since. Would there be anyway we could ever get him back?

No. For him to adopt your son, your rights must have been terminated. That is a final action and you have no standing" to bring a suit. Standing is just a lawyer's way of saying that you have a right to do something.
Theoretically, if the brother were to relinquish his parental rights to you, you could adopt, but you would have to both agree on that.
