* Unfortunately, you did not give any reason as to why the birth parent is giving up their young child to a relative. If at all possible; even if it means government assistance the birth parent should try to keep their child. If it's absolutely impossible then all the birth parent can do is try to explain to the child the best they can, but it will never be enough and the child will feel unloved by the birth parent. Eventually the child will grow accustomed to being raised by a relative, but will eventually grow up and want to know why their birth parent did this. The least the birth parent can do is write a heart-felt letter explaining the circumstances as to why they had to give the child up and give the letter to the relative and when the child is old enough to understand and asks 'Why did my birth parent give me up' then they can read the letter. The birth parent should keep in touch with the relative to see how their child is and at some future date and providing the child wants too then the birth parent and child should meet when that child is no longer a minor.
no
The emotional state of anyone who is adopted varies from one person to the next - there is no set "norm". Factors involved include whether the child knows he or she is adopted, whether he or she knows and/or interacts with the birth parent, the maturity of the child, the "stability" of the adopted family's and birth family's homes... there are too many others to list.
Ask them, a parent, child or other relative.

Adopted means that someone who didn't give birth to the child, or made the mother pregnant, has agreed to be a parent to the child for all legal purposes.
yes but papers and a court herring must be attended
A legally adopted child is considered the parent's child just as much as if they had given birth to that child. So being adopted does not affect the rights or the heirship of the deceased parent's house and assets, even if they have biological children, as well. What does matter, is the state's laws regarding heirships with or without a will. You need to consult an attorney if there is no will to see what your rights are.
Adoptive parent. Once a child has been adopted, his adoptive parents are his parents, period. It is as though he had been born to them. He no longer has ANY legal relationship to his birth parents; he has no claim on them nor they on him.

They will receive a new birth certificate with the new parent's name in the place of the old. The new certificate becomes the legal one and the old certificate is not valid.
