I adopted my niece back in Feb. She is now 9 mths. Birth parents signed the 21 day consent forms with legal counsel. The b. mother is gone. Are there any circumstances where the b. father can actually get her back? He's only seen her 3 times since her birth - I was told by CAS never to be unsupervised. But he's making threats and I'm terrified.

Have you told the "CAS" (not sure what that is but it sounds like a person of authority) about his threats? I would get legal advice ASAP and document all threats ~ keep a written journal of all details. As the papers were signed I wouldn't think there is anything he could do but I'm not a lawyer. Learn the facts and take whatever steps necessary to protect your child.

Best of Luck to you!

Just to let you know, the CAS is the Children's Aid Society.

I am from Canada, as far as the laws are in Ontario,no he has no right to take your child from you. is your adoption finalized? I know its kind of hard to feel secure esp since your adoption was a relation adoption. But be secure and yes notify CAS, this is your child. If he has signed documentation supporting the adoption then I would fear nothing. Good luck and keep us posted
