If someone adopts a child can they leaglly disown that child?

In OKLAHOMA you can disown your natural child but not your adopted child. Of course, you could leave them $1.00 and they wouldn't be considered disowned. I don't know about other places.

It would be possible for them to voluntarily relinquish their rights and place the child with someone else for adoption, but I think it very rarely happens. People who adopt a child have usually waited a long time and been through a lot to even adopt the child in the first place. Once an adoption is finalized, the adoptive parents have all the legal rights that they would have had if the child had been born to them biologically.

A child that is adopted is viewed as if you birthed that child by the goverment and laws.

So I would guess that you could legally disown an adopted child, but I just cannot imagine doing that. I love my kids so much...I almost do not even want to allow someone else to have them overnight!

I sometimes shake my head at some of the questions. I have six children, five adopted from birth. They are now adults and I have 12 grandchildren. Did you give birth to other children? Why on earth, would you write such a question. An adopted child, a child that you gave birth to, ARE YOUR CHILDREN. What applies to the one applies to the other. How old is this child? If anything seriously went wrong regarding this child, if I had adopted him/her, I would treat it exactly as the other. This child is YOUR child? Not some added addition to you and your husband, that you can dump if there is a problem. I cannot understand such a sentiment. However, if you have been thinking this way, all through this child's life, it would not be wrong of me to assume that being treated as "this is my adopted child and this is my own" would cause this child/person to have mounds of problems. A child, is a child, is a child!!!! I add, that if this is an only child, I would always have introduced this child "as my child---" not " this is my adopted child". I would love to know how you introduced this child.

yes it is possible once your adopted you have all the rights as if your a blood child of the couple or family that your adopted into so if your state allows you to do that with a blood child then you would be able to do that with a adopted child too

If a child is legally adopted, he/she has the same rights as a child that is born to a person (in the US).

Anyone can write anyone out of their will. If you simply don't mention them at all in your will it's grounds for them to contest the will so you simply state "and to my son John I leave nothing" that way there isn't any question as to to will.
