    Ummmmm...... doesn't everyone have parents? This is kind of a silly question. Maybe you need to clarify what you're really asking.

  • You can if there is a reason or the parents consent to it. A few reasons may be abuse, or lack of funds to pay for the needs of the child. If the conditions wouold be better at the adopters house and the parents are willing to give up there child, it's legal. Hope this helps!

    Not necessary, depends on the situation like if the parents have their rights taken away for some reason

    if the parents gives permission... we had a kid who had his parents but the father didn't want to know about him so he was in foster and maybe they would consider adoption for him...

    If the parents want to give up their parental rights, then you can.

    If you're talking about a child, yes. A child can be taken away for reasons of abuse or neglect.Also for money reasons.
