joint adoption

Read a random definition: incontestability clause

A quick definition of joint adoption:

Joint adoption is when two people who are not the biological parents of a child become the child's legal parents. This happens when a judge decides that the child is an orphan or has been abandoned, or when the biological parents' rights have been taken away. When someone is adopted, they become part of a new family with all the same rights and responsibilities as if they were born into that family. Joint adoption is different from fostering or taking care of a child temporarily. It is a special way of making a family that is recognized by the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Joint adoption is a legal process where two people, usually a couple, adopt a child together. It creates a parent-child relationship between the child and both adoptive parents, with all the rights and responsibilities that come with it.

Before a joint adoption can take place, it must be determined that the child is an orphan, has been abandoned, or that the biological parents' parental rights have been terminated by court order.

For example, a married couple may decide to adopt a child together. They would both become legal parents of the child and have equal rights and responsibilities for their care and upbringing.

Joint adoption is different from single adoption, where only one person adopts the child. It is also different from fostering, where a child is placed in a temporary home for care and support.

@jackfrost11770: I have my undergrad in Intelligence and Terrorism and worked a good bit in the IC so I can answer some broad questions but not many direct because the nature of the field. If you want to go to law school and get your JD it really depends what intel work you would want to do and where you want to live.

If you do it from the attorney side you will be skirting the left and right limits of laws like the NDAA to conduct domestic espionage or how to kidnap or spy on people in foreign countries without committing war/international crimes. JAG would be very very general and location based. At one unit you can be the personal attorney to a commander not even having your own office or desk, next one you can be leading the prosecution of terrorist and rapist and the next one be the legal OK for drone striking people. It is a very varied job you have little control over.

The last jag I worked with had a folding picnic table as his desk and had to bring his office chair home every night because people would steal it and he hated using a bucket as a seat. All he did was keep commanders from being fired cause they kept doing illegal shit. It is a varied journey.

This is so true. I still have my folding table. I put alcohol on it now and it is my home bar.

For one I would try not asking questions that start with “How do you recommend grooming a child?”

EvolBunny

11:06

lol people just have bad connotations with it, is it grooming to have your kid play hockey with you and watch games so they want to play when they turn 6?

Dkk

11:06

@EvolBunny: Maybe, maybe but I think the TBI is better advice.

EvolBunny

11:07
