Why can't I sue my birth parents for back child support?

You can't sue your birth parents for money for child support if you were adopted "to parents." In other words, you exchanged one set of parents for another, usually with the understanding that the second families home will be much better for the child. Therefore, since they no longer have any rights to you, they no longer have responsibilty (child support) for you. Your parents are the ones supporting you now (adopted parents). If they get divorced, then you can sue one of them for child support.

The way they "get away with it" is by laws passed "in the best interest of infants and children in GENERAL." Not in specific cases, there will always be children who don't fit exactly into the system, because no system is perfect, but the "main thing" is to protect the greatest number of children as possible. And this setup that is in place now, does just that! If the Father of the infant to be adopted is known, he MUST sign away his parental rights (which mean allot) and the Mother must do the same. This gives away ALL RIGHTS they have to the infant and all that entails. Such as making Life and Death decisions in medical situations. What the child will be named, raised religiously from now on, and everything else. They do not even have the right to know if the child is presently alive in many states.

ABANDONMENT is leaving a child unattended somewhere, not sure if they will have access to cleanliness, food, warmth and livable conditions. When a child is put into State or Federal aid to be adopted out, it is with the "expectation" that someone with a need for a child, who will love and want them, will adopt them and care for them. A little romantic perhaps, but people who adopt out would be comforted by this I guess.

well, to risk the possibility of sounding completely insensitive: well, your parents could have ABORTED you, did you ever think of that? Or hell, they could have just kept you even though they didn't feel they could give you the life you deserved, and then you would have been a f*cked up kid and you'd hate your parents forever because they should never have been parents.

I mean, why the hell do we all have to be angry about crap no matter how our lives turn out

The bottom line. Your birth parents had enough brains to know they would be able to give you a better life with someone else. They did you a favor by giving you up. And your adoptive parents? They CHOSE to adopt a child, and adopted you. Adopted children are super special because they have the best chance of being raised by a mother and father who REALLY want and deserve them. There's nothing more deliberate than going through the adoption process, and your birth parents don't owe them anything. If anyone owes anyone, its YOU who owes your adoptive parents for their charity. Especially considering your obvious lack of appreciation for it all.

Your adoptive parents chose to adopt you, and in many US states, and other countries, the state helps financially, either through direct payments (family allowance etc) or through tax incentives (tax allowance for parents), and can take action against birth-parents for state retribution, if it is felt justifiable.

YOU are not entitled as child maintenance is not paid to the child.

If your adopted your birth parents don't owe you anything. They don't owe child support; they gave up the responsibility to pay for you when they gave up their parental rights to your adoptive parents. How about just being glad that they gave you life and were smart enough to allow someone else more responsible to raise you?

Your birth parents probably didn't have money to raise you! Were your adoptive parents really that awful?

Generally, by law the duties of support are waived after adoption. Good question though!

Your adoptive parents raised you. I'm sorry it wasn't to the style you apparantly were expecting. You are not a very grateful person are you?

well I'm sorry you feel like that, accually I was adopted, bu tto answer your question its because your adopted parents didnt demand it I think they have to sue and demand there be payments

SOME parents give up their rights.
