1) Money Talks,Justice Walks  by Anonymous Citizen on August 29, 2007 
Adoption Laws Need To Include Provisions To Each Different Adoption. Under 710.56 Order Of Adoption.
Papers And Forms That BirthParents Sign.
Example, Courts Should Use Forms For Relative Adopt.or Forms For Open Adoption Should Be,Include Law,710.44 Agreement To Get Consent Sign.

Forms Used Now Do Not Protect Birth Parents Right to Have Visitation,Even when Birth Parents Are Promised. Well Then Appeal Courts Reject Return of Child to Birth Parent Cause Change Of Heart Does Not Count, See The Hole In The Law?
Well When Adopting Parents, Get Cheated, Fraud The
Rights To Appeal, Return Kids To Agency are Upheld
But If Parents Are Cheated,Lied To, Fraud The Courts Make Up Rules. 710.44 (5 b,d)Yes Its a Law.
I Agree Reform Forms, Cause Judges and Appeals Courts,do Not Care About Misrepresentation.
If The Forms Young BirthParents Sign Had Laws that
Should Be On The Forms In The First Place, I Agree
It Is The Law$$$$but Money Talks, Justice Walks.

2) To many cooks in kitchen burn't the purpose  by Anonymous Citizen on August 18, 2007 
This hb didnot get passed cause to many senators
trying to control what the house had passed,it a control of who gets the credits.so each one goes back and forth changing and adding until the sole
purpose of issue at hand gets pushed out.
like grandparenting time rights new bill 727 the sole provisions were changed out,"767 was best"had
everything covered then senators picked at itspoil
true issues,afraid of supreme courts,and lawyer made the decision for legislatures.
Question then remains, why didn't the provisions
of Adoption by a stepparent or Grandparents left in? When social reality facts show that children
will be placed or adopt by relative or grandparent
at least put back in- somewhere, an amended clause
Under {Order of Adoption codes or change of name,
like common sense-
710.59-Desires to change name
Amend-710.59-(1a, A grandchild adopted by paternal or maternal grandparents in 1st degree with or without heir name change can petition for visits
if best interest of child factors.
This simple add on will not hurt parents rightorg.
Children rights org. Veterans ,Family rights all have approved these modify add on provisions that
will solve many court battles. Give children a right to be with both sides of grandparents.
710.55, Solicit adoption law, add 710.55(3)-
(3)=a grandchild may be placed or adopted by
relatives or grandparents. Grandparents related in 1st degree may petition for mediation services for continued grandparent bond or best interest visits

Children who are adopted by Grandparents need to know other Grandparents in 1st degree too.
It took to long,to many cooks in kitchen burn stew
now no ones happy, everyone loses, children suffer
Keep parents rights out of it worry about the kids
a grandchild adopted by paternal or maternal grandparents, with or without name change,becomes a heir at law to adoptive grandparents . "Grandparents related in 1st degree may petition for continued visitations or mediation services with said grandchild."

If your going to put word out a new grandparentLaw
Then do things to help Grandparents and children
doNot make it harder, or give effects away.
Or even leave out GOOD provision, like 767 was,
if parents rights do not like the 5th degree related part of any relative visits,well cut that,
Just up for ADOPTION GRANDPARENTS IN 1ST DEGREE.
