Does a grandparent have the right to be notified if their grandchild is being put into adoption?

In Nevada, a grandparent has the right to be notified if their grandchild is being put into adoption. This notification must come from the adoption agency or any other third-party that is involved in the adoption process, such as an attorney or public administrator. The notification is intended to give the grandparent an opportunity to object to the adoption and be heard in court. In addition, grandparents in Nevada have the right to be heard in court if they believe the adoption is not in the grandchild’s best interest. The court will consider any objections the grandparent makes concerning the adoption, and may require the adoption agency to establish that the adoption is in the grandchild’s best interest over the grandparent’s objections. In cases when a grandparent is unable to be contacted or does not respond to the notification, the court may still grant the adoption order. However, if a grandparent has been properly notified of the adoption proceedings, they have the right to be heard in court. Grandparents in Nevada have an important role in the adoption process and the court will consider their opinion if they believe the adoption is not in the best interest of their grandchild.
