If you relinquish your parental rights, you are still not going to get child support payments. The child support is for the child.
Termination of parental rights is effective only after a court approves it. If all you did was sign a document relinquishing parental rights, but no court ever approved termination of parental rights, you could still be required to pay child support.
to be an independent adult means that you are able to support your self with a home, and that you are able to provode yourself the food you need without anyone's help.

No. Public assistance is paid from public funds. Child support is paid by individual obligors.
