Yes, every child has the rights to find their biological parents. For an instance their health. It's for the child to decide, give them a chance to decide for themselves.

Can a parent give up parental rights to a child even if parents are still married to each other?
A biological parent is automatically the legal guardian of his or her minor child unless they voluntarily relinquish parental rights or the court terminates those rights to their child. Temporary custodial/visitation/support issues are decided at the time divorce papers are filed, the permanent decisions are finalized at the time the divorce decree is granted.
In the state of Wisconsin do step parents have rights to step children if the custodial parents have fifty fifty custody and placement?
A step parent does have some rights, but they are extremely limited. In Wisconsin, step parents do have rights regarding day to day care, BUT their rights are subject to the wishes of the biological parent that they are married to. As regards parental rights, a step parent is not considered a parent, but a legal guardian. In all major decisions (custody) or major events, a step parent does NOT have rights, nor can they contest a parent's rights in court unless they can prove a danger to the child would occur. In fact, a step parent who interfears with a biological parent's rights in any way can be held in Contempt for doing so. In ALL matters regarding the children, the rights of the step parent is ALWAYS trumped by either biological parent, unless a judge interseeds. In joint custody arrangements, both parents have equal rights, no one parent is above the other, no matter who has the children more, and a step parent cannot be a tie-breaker unless both parents agree. Only a judge, federal law, or state law can overrule or remove a biological parent's rights. The bottom line is the rights of a step parent in Wisconsin are VERY limited and are always subject to the biological parents.

Legal and lawful adoption is a process that ends in the final and irrevocable transference of all rights and responsibilities for a child from the biological parents to the adoptive parents.

This can take many forms, from regular letters to frequent visits. Open adoption does not alter the legality of the adoption, the finality and irrevocability, in any way.

Can you be emancipated from your legal guardian if he isn't your biological parent?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. But, if you live in the US... If you're about to be legally adopted, then your biological parents parental rights will be terminated (and your adoptive parents will gain those rights). Therefore, there's no need for emancipation from your biological parents, because they'll no longer have rights over you. Now, if what you're really asking is can you be emancipated in order to then be adopted--no. That's not the purpose of emancipation. In order to be adopted, your adoptive parents have to go through the normal legal process, which includes termination of parental rights (and that can be voluntary or involuntary, but to terminate involuntarily, they need a very good case).
Can you still see and contact your parents if you are adopted?
Depends. It's up to the adoptive parents to decide. Your biological parents have given up every right to you. Many feel it would be too hard for a child to bond to the new family if the biological parents are still there. It can also depend on why your biological parents gave you up for adoption. If their rights were taken away due to drugs for instance, it would not be in your best interest to see them.

If the child was adopted the grand parents have no rights. It would be up to the adoptive parents whether any relationship could be maintained.
