The ability to adopt a child as a gay or lesbian parent varies from state to state. Gays and lesbians have several options open to them when considering adoption.

What rights do birth parents have to get in touch with their adopted child?
In the United States the rights of a birth mother to contact an adopted child are determined by state law.

After that, the adoption agency will usually help the birth mother find the adopted child.

The short answer to this question is no. Often times one or both parents terminate their parental rights before the child is born (this is often done in cases where the parents are planning to put the child up from adoption).

An attorney can help you understand your parental rights, including terminating those rights.
