How Do We Turn Minor Guardianship Into Termination And Adoption?
Location: Iowa. We took legal guardianship of our nephews in 2024 so they could avoid a CINA case. However, they have a younger brother who we could not take into guardianship because he is not biologically related to us. He is in a CINA case and termination of parental rights trial is set for this month because Mom hasn’t done what’s needed to get him back yet.
If her rights are terminated to younger brother we would like to move forward with an attempt to terminate her rights to the 2 we have as well. We’d have to do this ourselves since we have no case with the state. She has not seen them in over a year, she does not contribute at all anything to them financially, emotionally, physically, etc. She has only really texted them on holidays.
Is changing a guardianship to termination and adoption doable? We are just worried that if anything happens to them medically we would need a judges approval until they’re 18 under the guardianship. If we can terminate and adopt we would not need to coparent with the courts basically. They are in the mid teens, a few years until they’re 18. Biological father had his rights terminated when they were young.
