Re: adoption
If you have no court order, it is likely that your rights are extremely limited, if not non-existent. To have any rights regarding this child, it is necessary that you file a petition with courts to establish those rights. The bio mom and dad are legally the persons with rights. You need to hire a lawyer immediately.
