Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
my adoption
I am 16 years old and I was adopted when i was in 4th grade. I was raised thinking that my parents were just awful people but just recently I came in contact with them and they're really quite the opposite. The reason for my adoption was my parents were considered unfit or they were incarcerated. I have discovered that my adopted parents went through the process of my adoption quite the conniving way unknown to me. They hid letters from my dad which he sent monthly for 6 years from prison. From this if i understand correctly could have prevented them from adopting me because he continually tried to contact me and they told the court and everyone he never tried to contact me. My mom at the time of my adoption still had me off and on and my adopted parents would call and ask to keep me or to take me places ( and of course she agreed she said that she thought they could give me all the experiences she couldn't) all the while they were taking note of all the stays and recording them in a book which they presented in court. My overall question is, is there any way that my adoption can be annulled or my biological parents can get custody of me?
