If you live in the US (and without knowing the state) generally speaking, adoptive or biological is irrelevant. If there's a will and the child is not named, the child gets nothing, unless they can successfully contest the legality of the will (which takes a strong case).
Typically, the biological child has no rights to the biological parent's estate if the child has been adopted by a different person (i.e., the bChild was adopted into a different family and there are NO legal ties back to the bParents). I am looking for exceptions to this now...
Once a child is an adult, there typically is no more child support.
Once a child has been adopted, the child support typically ends.
The person that was supposed to be paid the child support can sue for owed money. If they are no longer living, the estate can sue for it. There are statute of limitations that apply to how long afterwards this can happen.
Only if the child is named in the deceased's Will. He or she would not be entitled to an inheritance by way of state probate succession laws.
Yes, adoption terminates the parent child relationship of the biological father, so unless the biological father had a will, the child is not legally his child.
No. Adoption severs all legal connections between the two. However, the adopted child is entitled to make a claim on their adopted father's estate.
No, they do not.
no
Since the biological father did not sign the birth certificate, he has no legal rights to the child unless he wants to pursue them through means of a paternity test which he would have to pay for.
When you believe fathers are irrelevant.see link
Yes since he can't do it. see link
Yes, I've helped fathers do that
If he has adopted her then he is her father and has all of the biological fathers rights transferred to him at adoption. If adopted yes
no
Since you were adopted by another man at age 6 and now go by his surname I don't think you can be considered you biological fathers child in the eyes of the law now. Your biological fathers name is not on your birth certificate. You could try and see if social security would except a DNA sample from your biological fathers other children to prove that you are his child or maybe your biological fathers parents(this would be better) if any of them would do that for you.

If a biological parent gives up their parental rights, then the spouse of the other parent is able to adopt the child. The parent who gave up their rights has no say in the matter.

If they have a biological relative then no, a brother is a closer relative than an adoptive father is. Legally though, if you are the only guardian/ relative then you will be next of kin.
Difficult, but yes. In most cases, the state will take the child as single fathers have no assumed parental rights. see link
Biological fathers have the right to see their children just as much as biological mothers. If they are not married to the mother, t hey may have to prove they are the father by taking a paternity test.
You can only have one biological father, but one or more step-fathers (not of your blood.)
Since the biological father did not sign the birth certificate, he has no legal rights to the child unless he wants to pursue them through means of a paternity test which he would have to pay for.
Voluntarily or involuntarily? There are separate statutes covering each scenario. (In either types of termination, the obligation to pay child support does not end unless the child is being legally adopted).
