adoption of a coming grandchild

[jemma]

my son and his wife are presently trying to get their three children back that are in foster care. they have another child that is almost 17 months and they are expecting another in august which they would like for us to adopt as they are unable to financially afford. What steps need to be taken and by approximately what time period? What complications can arise legally. Should the parental rights be terminated on the other three in foster care would they be able to change their minds about this child if so how long of a period. I'm in TN.

You need an attorney. An uncontested adoption should run you about $1500. Every state has a time period in which the biological parents can change their mind, but it is relatively short span. I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of time this morning so I can't look up the timespan for TN, but your attorney will know for sure! Having their parental rights terminated towards their other children will make it MORE difficult to contest an adoption once performed.

Having arrived at the edge of the river, the fisherman soon realized he had forgotten to bring any bait. Just then he happened to see a little snake passing by who had caught a worm. The fisherman snatched up the snake and robbed him of his worm.

Feeling sorry for the little snake with no lunch, he snatched him up again and poured a little beer down his throat and went about his fishing.

An hour or so later the fisherman felt a tug at his pant leg. Looking down, he saw the same snake with three more worms.
