Custody of my nephew, can I adopt?
I have had custody of my 5 year old nephew for the last 2 years. I had to fight in court for a long time to get that. MY sister (step) who is a complete drug addict keeps threating to take me to court and take him away from me. It has been almost a year since she has even seen him. Although I doubt she will ever clean up enough to get him it scares me to think she "could" one day just take him away because she is the biological mother. Is there a way that I can adopt and her lose all rights to him?

She normally would have to agree to that.
The bio mom will always have some rights unless she becomes such a danger to the child that the court bans her permanently from having contact. |
