I have legal custody of my sister’s 4 year old daughter. She was going to put her up for adoption at birth and I’ve had her since day one. I have been mommy to her all her life and my son and daughter have been her brother and sister from the beginning. My sister gave up all rights to her when she was 3 months old and the father is unknown. I would like to legally adopt, so that she may carry our last name and would like to do this before she starts school, so that she doesn’t have to learn a name she isn’t familiar with. (She has always called herself my my last name and doesn’t know any different.) We started our through DHR as my sister had a serious drug and alcohol problem. We have been discharged from the state when I was given legal custody of her at three months old. I wondered of there was a program that would assist in the cost of a legal adoption as I’ve heard it will cost around $2000 in legal fees. Any input on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

Our adopted son (9 years old) has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. He is currently reading on a 1st grade level. He wants to “read better”.
My son recieves a social security check and has med-cal insurance.We live in Fullerton Calif.
If a person gets so drunk that they have seizures and they’re alcoholics and when they get to hospital doctor tells their mom to take them to alcoholic programs to sober up and the alcoholic says they don’t work, the mother says the son won’t attend anyways. Then the son keeps drinking. Can the mother somehow legally make a judge force her son to go into an alcoholic annonymous program, like if he misses a classes he’ll go to jail. Can he be forced without having committed a crime to put him in the position of being in front of a judge?
My son was arrested 11/2 years ago.He got a high fine for having a broken ink pen and a very small amount of meth in his truck. He went to court and they put him in Drug Court classes. He went 3 times a week. Drug tested 3 times a week. Home work etc. Have to go to 5 NA meetings a week and keep a full time job. His meeting were 8:00 till 10:00 3 times a week and was to graduate to phase 2 this week. His probation office has harrassed him from the get go.I have plenty of evidence on the harressment.Her threats has made him loose his mind and he could not handle this anymore. it was bad. He went across the state line to go to work to send money back to pay his fines off and his plans were to come back and turn himself in after he made the money. His probation officier made it inpossible for him to keep a job to pay fines and they were all due.A cop profiled him in Louisisana. And now in jail waiting extradition.What can i do for him? Is a verbal hold enough to keep him in jail there?
He was arrested for failing to use a turn signal and out ran the law. His brothers turned him in. Can i help my son? My heart is broke. Every time he trys to get on with his life he gets shot down. Please no dumb jokes on this. This is my sons life. Only answer my question from your heart. They say he can bail out but he has a hold on him from Arkansas probation officier. Is a verbal hold legal? How long can they keep him in jail on a verbal hold. There is no warrents out for him in Arkansas.But if his fines are not payed in 2 weeks they will put a warrent out. He is stuck in a hard place. What would you do? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!P.S. The cop went across a county (parish line) and shot at him. He hit the woods scared and the cop shot his tires out. The parish he was picked up in didn’t want him but the other parish did. Please help>>>>>
