    Default Can Parents Consent to Adoption After a Child is Removed by the State

    My question involves adoption law for the State of: Kansas

    Do parent's have the right to consent to an adoption or guardianship when a child is in custody but rights haven't been terminated? My former foster daughter wants me to take custody of her son but the agency isn't wanting to help us make that happen. Thank you in advance.

    The parents can indicate to the case workers that they do not object to your adoption of the child or your appointment as guardian. You cannot, however, bypass the protective proceedings by starting a separate adoption or guardianship proceeding -- that would have to wait until the protective proceedings have concluded without termination of the parents' rights.

    Mr. KIA are you sure about that? In some states they can. I don't know if Kansas is one of them.
