No! Once a child is adopted they are legally the child of the adoptive parents. The only way that child could be a step-child is if the adoptive parents divorce and the custodial parent re-marries. Then the child becomes a step-child to the new parent.
No, once a child is adopted, the original parent or parents have no more rights to the child. This also means that child support is not required.
