In the US a biological parent cannot be forced to relinquish his or her rights to their children, it must be done voluntarily. The court can permanently terminate the rights of a parent in cases of child abuse and/or neglect and in very rare instances if the state in which the minor child/children reside has an applicable "abandonment" statute.
