    Adoption rights?
    Back in 2007 I was pregnant at the age 16. I was living with my boyfriends family not local to my family, as I told the parents I was pregnant they told me I had to give the child away- last minute they forced me to give my son to them as they would raise his as their own. If I didn't they would kick me out, wouldn't help with the child, they would make my boy friend break up with me & etc or he nor the family would help me out... I never wanted to as they brain washed me and scared me for my life, till this day my son doesn't know who I am and they told me if I ever told my family or told anyone they wouldn't let me see him, I rarely get to be around him, I am scared and scared, as they told me I was selfish... I am 20 now, in college, studying to become a Deputy sheriff, working.. I want to get custody of him back, but I don't know if I waited to long, or what the statue of limitation is for this type of stuff... please help and they took all my papers, I have nothing...

    You need to contact a lawyer... if you never went to court to sign away your parental rights (And they'd ask you in court if you knew what you were doing), then they can't have adopted your child... but they may have full custody.

    Get a lawyer. You don't have a chance without one.

    There is no statute of limitation here that I know of. But ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

    You have one major thing against you, the child is now 5 and disrupting his life may not be in his best interests.

    But you have a couple of things going for you, you seem to have turned your life around and, unless you actually went to court and signed an adoption agreement (your boyfriend would have had to do this as well) the child was probably not legally adopted. In fact, unless a court granted your parents guardianship or custody, his legal parents are whoever is on his birth certificate.

    So consult an attorney. The attorney can check to see whether your parents have the legal right to keep your son and suggest the best strategy for you. Also it would be better if you and the father do this together.
