In the majority of US states an 18-year-old is considered a legal adult although there are exceptions, such as Alabama where the AOM is 19. In most cases there would be no point in filing for termination of parental rights unless the person is mentally and/or physically impaired and the custodial parent(s) wished to be relieved of the responsibility. The other exception would be if there is an existing child support order that stipulates an age above the state's age of majority, in which case the requesting parent would have to file suit to have the order amended or cancelled, not to have parental rights terminated.

If a parent chooses NOT to have any contact with their biological child for over a year can their parental rights be terminated?
If your parental rights were terminated and your child was legally adopted your chances are slim that any court will reverse that order. Think of your child. If the child was adopted and has adapted to a new family it would be extremely disruptive to remove the child from that home. There must have been extreme circumstances for the court to terminate your parental rights in the first place. Your problems and instability should not continue to affect the child. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options, if any, or your lack of rights to be involved in your child's life.
