Can you adopt a runaway 17 year old?
You can, BUT they either have to be wards of the state or their parents/legal gaurdians sign over parental rights to you. If not, you could be charged with kidnapping or harboring a runaway. If the parents don't care the child is missing, they will most likely sign away their rights.
If a parent chooses NOT to have any contact with their biological child for over a year can their parental rights be terminated?
If your parental rights were terminated and your child was legally adopted your chances are slim that any court will reverse that order. Think of your child. If the child was adopted and has adapted to a new family it would be extremely disruptive to remove the child from that home. There must have been extreme circumstances for the court to terminate your parental rights in the first place. Your problems and instability should not continue to affect the child. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options, if any, or your lack of rights to be involved in your child's life.
