Here is the grounds for termination of parental rights in Illinois.

Illinois has grounds for termination for about everything.

What is the Termination Of Parental Rights? The termination of parental rights means that a parent no longer has any legal rights to a child. The parent is no longer responsible for that child. This is a permanent situation that may cut off any more contact between you and your child.

Terminating parental rights is necessary in order for a child to be legally free for adoption. The rights of both biological parents must be either voluntarily terminated or terminated by court order before a child may be adopted.
