Assuming "disown" means the parent wants to give up his or her obligation to a minor child, then it is sometimes possible.

The parent wanting to voluntarily give up parental rights can file a Termnation of Parental Rights petition in the probate court in the county and state where they live.

If "disown" means to leave the child out of one's will then of course it is possible. There aren't laws which force anyone upon their demise to leave assets or property to children or other persons.

The exception being property that automatically reverts to a surviving spouse under state marital law.

Yes! Im sixteen years old. I lived with only my mom until i was 14, and then she abandoned me. She met a man on the internet who lived in England, & literally up & left everything. I live in Canada by the way. I had lived in the same town, same house, everything, for 14 years... She sent me to live with my father, who i hadnt seen in 10 around 10 years. He has bad substance abuse issues.

Its two years since she did that, & i still question it. It effected me mentally, too. I have every single symptom of borderline personality disorder.

How many adoptive parent's tell the child that they are adopted?

Well if the child is adopted before he or she is able to keep any real memory of the adoption the adoptive parents may tell him or her that he/she was adopted when the child is old enough to understand. Telling a child that the were adopted is hard to do, the child will have millions of questions like where is my birth parents, why was I adopted, and you may not be able to answer the. So advise to those telling their child they are adopted write down all the facts you know about the adoption like when it happened why it happened and if their birth parents want to be contacted. If the child was older say 6 and on when he/she was adopted they will know about it and will have questions. In some cases a child isn't told that he/she is adopted and may never know unless they find out on their own.


If parental rights are still in effect does a parent have a legal right to see his or her child?

A parent is the biological or legally adoptive mother or father. If you have lost custody of your child you are still the child's parent in that sense. If you have allowed your child to be legally adopted you may not be in their life but you are still their parent in that sense. In a legal sense you can no longer make any decisions for the child and have no parental rights.
