Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: undo an adoption

Sure you can abandon, neglect or abuse the child like other parents do and get the Dept of Children & Families Services involved in your lives until they finally terminate your parental rights. At which time the wife will probably filing for a divorce from you!

Basically you all need is family counseling to help get through this dilemna.

This hulabaloo can affect this child for the rest of his life and neither nor your wife want that burden on yourselves.

Re: undo an adoption

This advice is based on my personal experience and NOT my legal expertise.

Tell your son to MAN UP and not worry about the contact with the biological father. I was adopted by my "step-father" and had never known my biological father. (This was through no fault of my adopted dad)

When I became an adult I eventually tracked down and contacted my biological father after consulting with my adopted father. My dad (the adopted father) was extremely supportive of the decision and has even met my biological father several times.

Your son has the opportunity to really show his manhood by continuing to love his adopted son and show him how a great father acts. He should not fear the contact by the biological father. Chances are the son will want to meet his biological father at some point and could grow up resenting your son for interfering with his opportunity.

If your son doesn't love the child then why did he adopt? If he loves the child why would he want to "un-adopt"?

Really, who has the problem you or your son? Fatherhood is not based on paternity alone. It's about love, respect, and doing the right thing. Your son has been given a GREAT opportunity to raise this child, and the way he handles this situation will impact everyone involved.
