There is no child at 18, that is an adult who makes his own decisions about who to see.
Nope, at 18 your child is an adult.
In New York, parents are legally responsible for their children until they reach the age of 21.
All the rights within the law. You're responsibly until the child is 18.
18 or 21, depending upon local laws.
Until you are 18 the parent with full custody can determine where you live.
No. The biological father can give up his rights and if your husband then want to be more than a step parent, who have no rights to the child, can adopt your child. Or not, that is your choice as the parent.
No as a step parent you have no right to your partners child unless you adopt them.

It's not the parent who decide whether there will be visitation rights or not, that is the court and a parent is not obligated to petition for one. A parent can not be forced to have a relationship with their child. Apart from paying child support.
No they do not. You will need someone to have custody of you. And if the parent want their child to stay and be the parent they would not give up their rights. There would be no point. To decide where to live you have to be 18 so this is something your parents decide for you and by giving up his/hers rights they can not make any decisions regarding the child. The only thing they still have a right to do is to pay child support.
As a step parent you do not have rights to your partners children unless you adopt them.
no rights none until the child is older and the parent can explain the reasons for giving up parental rights and then it is up to the child to make a decision to have a relationship with that parent
