    Default Is It Possible to Overturn a Voluntary Termination of Rights

    My question involves adoption law for the State of: idaho

    i voluntarily terminated my rights to my children and they were adopted i feel i was under duress and mentally incapable of making such a decision at that time. I was promised all sorts of things like an open adoption,relationship would continue(my son was already 10) my daughter only 4 i was told after the initial adjustment period the children could come to my house and spend weekends we would be involved in family holidays and no matter what i would at the very least see them both on birthdays and holidays. Lies all of it i havent been allowed to see the baby in over a year with no explanation until just recently and now i cant see my son either they are giving me reasons like they are having nightmares and flashbacks and are seeing therapists they aare painting a rather horrible picture of where the children came from bottom lime i gave them up due to financially being unable to provide and i was having alot of mental issues being treated im better on medication and feel tricked and am worried about my children rite after they were adopted the family adopted two more girls they are all babys accept my son i have to wonder if something is going on to make my kids start having these so called nightmares. is there anything i can do?

    If your children were adopted, you no longer have children. You are not their parent.

    yes i understand that however at the time i terminated my rights i was mentaly unstable i feel unable to make such a decision and health and welfare as well as the foster parents were well aware of this. The conditions that were discussed and agreed upon that helped to make this decision wer not honored in fact i i believe they said whatever they could to just get me to sign the paper there is nothing i can do at all? They also never found my sons father to see if he would have been an option is that legal? they have brothers and sisters do they not have any rights to know them? my son was already ten and knows everyone in the family and they wont evn let him talk to his brother or sister

    You have told us nothing useful, not even how long ago this happened. If you believe you can demonstrate that you were mentally disabled to the point that you could challenge your consent and events (or the recovery of your mental capacity) were sufficiently recent that a court might be receptive to your argument, or if you believe you have any other grounds to try to attack your consent or enforce any agreement you may have had, discuss the details of your case with a local family lawyer.
