My husband is a regesterd sex offender can he adopt my child?

Question

I got alot of good responses, but no where in my question did I say it was for molestation of a child, I should have been more specific, she was 16 he was 18, and her parents pressed charges.

Answer 1

um sorry but i dont believe so anyone wanting to adopt wether their partners child or not has to pass a child check thing and if hes already a registered offender then i think your out...
Plus if you try they will probably start keeping a very close eye on you for the safety of your kid..

Answer 2

Hear This! My friend married someone who made advances to his step-daughter, he wanted her to give him a fatherly hug and kiss(that is what he told her and the Mother). She was afraid to tell MOM what she thought, although she did tell her (MOM, I do not want to do that). Mom did not listen and must have been in a type of denial! The end was a beveled and serrated skull, she drowned in her own blood for ten minutes.WHY! Because as she slept, he chose to kill her she would not allow him to do what he wanted! Sex offender or not! Think about it lady, Think long and hard!!! How could you put your child in a situation that most likely will cause her great pain for her whole future. Where is she now? How old is she? You must put him, above the safety of your daughter!! I do not get it. I do not have to get it, but you better! Have you ever lost a child? It does not have to be through death physically, you can lose that child mentally, emotionally, spiritually. I guess this really upsets me! I pray your child will be in a safe place, she is not safe with how you are thinking! If this sounds mean, WELL, it is because I can not believe your putting the child in such a harmful circumstance. I wish her the best, but not you , I wish you, to get your thoughts in a place of loving her enough to even leave your husband!!!!!!! Sorry, for stating daughter in my writing, as it appears you did not state the sex of your child. The answer is the same!

Answer 3

Is your husband a child sex offender or adult sex offender??? how long ago did he commit the offence???
The authorities in you country should be involved in the adoption, unless you are adopting illegally.
The rule of thumb is that child sex offenders will not be able to legally adopt children.

Answer 4

Okay, let me get this straight..your husband is a registered sex offender, and you want him to have legal rights to become the father of your child?. Wow, well I am not here to judge so I will keep my thoughts of this to myself..

However I honestly dont think that would be possible, legally thats for sure. Dont qoute me on that though because I am not positive, but if you think about it, What judge in his right mind is going to permit a registered sex offender guardianship of a child?... I dont know..

Answer 5

Once a sex offender always a sex offender. They are wired differently and they can never be rehabilitated. You are putting your child in harms way. May God look over your kid.. Use common sense for Gods sake..

Answer 6

Why in GOD's name would you want him too??? Are you that desperate to where you can get nobody else, besides a sex offender..., I think with him being a reistered sex offender, you need to leave him, or~have your child placed in a safe environment. Welfare, Foster care.

Answer 7

don't bring your child near him.

you have to have seen those shows like oprah. people who are sex offenders are mentally inbalanced so its not like he did it and realized "oops, shouldn't have done it"

there's a huge chance that he'll do it again. and you'll be in denial about it cause you love him but do NOT leave him alone with your child ever.

one day your child will say something about being touched nad you wont believe him/her.

you're totally putting your child at risk here which isn't fair.

Answer 9

that would be a hell f***k no and why would you want him to anyway and better yet why did u marry him knowing this and put your kids in that situation--you are just as f****d up in the head as he is sorry bout ya luck there but you opened this question knowing that you would most likely get answers like this--put yourself in someone elses place and ask the same question and see how you would answer it---i think not would be your answer

Answer 10
