My business partner right now has custody and guardianship of the child, but is considering placing the child up for adoption.
|
I may be wrong here, but unless the mother (She isn’t a birthmother yet) has relinquished her rights, and her parents have adopted the child...they can’t place the child for adoption, only she can. If she isn’t willing to do this, and her parents don’t want to raise the child, the child will go into the foster care system, until 1) Termination is done or 2) Mom gets her life together and can parent.

We as soon to be parents were thinking about possibly adopting the baby and raising it on our own. Thoughts? This would be an open adoption since the birthmother knows us.

Open adoption is where you know, and have ongoing contact with the birthmother after placement. If you don’t wish to have contact with the birthmother after placement, then no, it would be a closed adoption...she'd just have your information.

How do you tell a child they are adopted?

If you elect to adopt, it’s best that the child always know...

When to tell a child they are adopted?

Ditto to what I said above, a child should know from the very start!

For parents with both natural-birth and adopted how to keep the peace in the house, and one child not taunting the other child?

My adoptive parents had a biological child after me, and all I can say is you have to stay on top of it, because chances are, it will always be an issue.
