It depends on the age of the child, and other than that believe this would be handled on a case by case situation. When my husband adopted my daughter, the judge made it very clear she was now his child in every way, til death do they part. So from that I will say, an adopted or natural child makes no difference in the eyes of the law (In CA at least).
The following came from an attorney in Ohio regarding a noncustodial father who wanted to disown his 14 daughter who was being somewhat of a handful;
You are responsible, at a minimum, for your natural children until they reach the age of majority (18). Theoretically, he could voluntarily terminate his parental rights, but I doubt any court would accept such a surrender of rights because the purpose of termination is to protect children from unfit parents, not vice-versa.
Once they reach adulthood you would be legally able to disinherit your adopted adult child the same way you would a biological adult child.
