	[No title]
		Although, in the present case, the appellant's petition was not filed under any of the available statutory schemes, the appellant argues that, as a psychological parent, her status is equivalent to that of a biological parent, thereby allowing her to petition for custody of the child outside of an existing statutory scheme.
		She makes this argument on the theory that as a psychological parent she is the equivalent of a biological parent and thus, has the same protected privacy rights as the appellee.
		In essence, appellant's sole argument is that once she establishes that she is a psychological parent to appellee's biological child, she is on equal footing with the appellee and no longer confronts the aforementioned impediments to seeking custody or visitation with the child.

	Foster care - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Foster care is a system by which adults care for minor children who are not able to live with their biological parents.
		In some states, foster parents may be single or a couple, younger or older adults, with or without biological children in their home.
		The focus of treatment in such facilities is to prepare the child for a return to a foster home, to an adoptive home, or to the biological parents when applicable.

	NCLR - State by State List of Custody Cases Involving Same-Sex Partners
		A non-adoptive parent had standing to petition for equal parenting time because she had become the child's psychological parent and there was a risk of emotional harm to the child if visitation were to be terminated.
		The court held that a psychological parent is not entitled to the equivalent parental status as the biological parent.
		The court determined that the non-biological mother was a de facto parent because she had participated in the child's life as a member of the family, lived with the child, and, with the consent and encouragement of the legal parent, performed a share of the caretaking functions at least as great as the legal parent.

		If the adoptive parents are living but are unwilling to give such written consent, the child-placing agency or the juvenile court personnel shall make a written report to the court stating that they were unable to notify the biological parent.
		If the biological parent is deceased but previously had filed an affidavit with the court stating that identifying information shall be disclosed, the information shall be forwarded to and released by the court to the adopted adult.
		If the biological parent is deceased and, at any time prior to his death, the biological parent did not file an affidavit with the court stating that the identifying information shall be disclosed, the adopted adult may petition the court for an order releasing the identifying information.

		Ritchie recommends that all biological parents also place a waiver on file with their agency and/or the county court where the adoption was finalized.
		Mutual consent registries allow adoptees, biological parents and in some states, biological siblings who have been separated by adoption, to register with a government agency in the state where the adoptee was born and/or adopted and then wait for a match.

		Just because the biological parent and the non-biological parent have different sexual orientation doesn't mean they can't raise healthy social children.
		A non-biological parent is someone that is not blood related to the child.
		If the child was young when the non-biological parent came into the picture, by the time the child became a teen he/she would probably be a little more accepting rather than entering into the “new family life” as a teen.

	Non-Biological Parent
		This is because the law doesn’t consider a non-biological parent to have a kinship relationship with the child.
		But if the child lives with the biological parent, the non-biological parent can’t be ordered to pay child support by the Agency because they aren’t considered to be a ‘parent’ legally (nor are they liable for child maintenance under the Family Law Act).
		In a 1995 case the NSW Supreme Court said that because the non-biological mother was involved in the act of conception and was a parent to the children, she must continue to support them even though the mothers had split up.

	No presumption of custody in favor of biological parent over adoptive parent under Virginia law Law Reporter - Find ...
		A Virginia appellate court held that in a custody dispute between a biological parent and an adoptive parent, there is no presumption that custody should be awarded to the biological parent.
		The mother appealed, arguing that the court erred in not applying a presumption of custody in her favor as the biological parent over the father, the son's adoptive parent.
		In addition, the court noted, other jurisdictions have rejected the argument that in a custody battle between a biological parent and an adoptive parent, there should be a rebuttable presumption that custody should be awarded to the biological parent.

	May a child adopted by a step parent still inherit from a biological parent who dies after April 1, 2000? What proof is ...
		If the biological father dies and is cremated and there is a question as to whether or not the adopted children by a step-parent are in fact the biological fathers-is there a test that can be done to prove it?
		Only the individual presumed to be the natural parent of a child under subdivision (a) may disprove a presumption that is relevant to the relationship, and this exclusive right to do so terminates upon the death of the presumed parent.
		The change under EPIC is that in a stepparent adoption (regardless of when the adoption occurred), a child may inherit from both his adoptive parent and their biological parent whose rights were terminated.

	Kazmierazak v. Query
		As a non-adoptive or non-biological parent seeking custody from a biological parent, the appellant would also appear to be faced with Florida's constitutional right of privacy.
		It seems to us that if an adequate record can be made demonstrating that it is in the child's best interest that such visitation be authorized the judge's discretion in the matter is sufficiently broad to allow him to authorize visitation with a non-parent.
		The government of this state, exerting its will through the court system, has no authority to compel visitation between a child and one who is neither a parent, grandparent, nor great-grandparent.
