    I was pressured into making a big mistake of relinquishment.
    I had to relinquish my rights to c.p.s & they gave adoption to my my aunt & uncle.What I want to know is can I ever go back to court to get some type of visitation at all?And if I'm not able to fight this any other way, than when will my children be able to make up their own mind if they wanted to be with me?:( :confused:

    You HAD to relinquish? Why? Usually you don't have to relinquish rights unless you've endangered your children, and then your rights are SEVERED, not relinquished. We need more of that story.

    If you can prove that you were coerced into signing away your rights, you have a chance. That's a HUGE long shot. You'd need a lawyer, and you'd have to be willing to pay a LOT for the chance. It wouldn't be a quick and easy court case.

    Relinquishment of your rights means that those children are no longer in any way, shape, or form related to you. You have NO rights to them, including visitation. If your aunt and uncle are kind, they may allow visititations occasionally--but that would be completely up to them.

    Your kids can make up their own minds about being with you when they are 18.

    How old were you? How old were your kids? How long ago did this happen?
    Why weren't you given any type of visitations?
    Were they assuming you could visit them being it is your aunt and uncle or were you even forbidden to see them?
    As Synnen said we need to know what lead to them terminating your rights.

    There is no age that the kids can ever decide they can at different ages testify in court at hearings.

    The issue of why, you 'HAD to give up your rights, were they taken away or did you sign.

    All you can do is try, hire an attorney and try, but it is hard and there is not a good chance
