Yes, there is no law against it unless the adoption record was sealed by a court order. Even then it can get done, but its a delicate legal issue - theres no straight answer. There are several excellent books on the subject and internet sites dedicated to free assistance for adopted children understanding the laws involved.

Who is considered next of kin adoptive parent or biological parent?

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.


Does a biological child have rights when a parent dies if they have been adopted?

When a child is put up for adoption it means the biological parent has given up all legal rights to the child. In the same way the child has no legal claim on the biological parents. The person that adopts a child takes all legal responsibility.

Not until they have reached the adult age in their state or country, usually 18.


Does a child that has been adopted retain legal right to inherit from biological grandparents?

No. Grandparents don't have rights, only what the parents allow them to. If living in a state where grandparents have the right to petition for visitation, there is also no contact allowed if the child is adopted away. All ties are cut with the previous family.

No, Andy Biersack is not and has never been adopted. All of the Black Veil Brides have grown up with their birth parents and haven't been adopted. The rumor that Andy has been adopted is false. I am a good friend of his and I've met his birth parents. Andy Biersack is not adopted.


Can an individual 18 years or older be legally adopted by a family without severing ties to their biological parents in the US and if so what restrictions may apply?

No, by definition, legal adoption means the severing of all legal connection between the biological parents and re-establishing that connection with the adopting parents. Once you are over the age of 18, adoption has no real affect, unless the individual has been judged incompetent.

No, that is no longer an option unless the grandparents (now parents) give permission. In order for the grandparents to adopt, the father's rights had to have been given up.


Is a non biological non adopted child entitled to an estate?

Since this is the adoption category I assume you mean not the biological grandchildren but foster kids who have never been adopted. And no, they have no right at all to anything their foster family leaves behind unless they are mentioned in the will. If you mean biological children they inherit their parents who in their turn inherit their parents, your grandparents. So unless the grandchild is mentioned in the will or the parents are deceased, the grandchild will not inherit the grandparents.


Can you get child support from your sons biological father even if he signed his rights over?

Yes, unless the child has been adopted.


Is it possible to null an adoption in NZ?

If there is a procedural mistake, an illegal act or other flaw in the process a court may decide to nullify an adoption. The court would probably consider the best interests of the child and may condone a flawed process if the interests of the child demanded it. Other than that, no. The adopted child, the biological parents and the adoptive parents cannot nullify an adoption. Adoption is for life.
