Grandparents should have the right to have visitation rights because their grandchildren might want to see them. Also when the children have enjoyed a good relationship with their grandparents that is an important part of life and it shouldn't end if the parents divorce or one parent dies.
Grandparents can ask for visitation to be granted through the court, but they are not automatically given visitation rights like natural/legal parents are.
No. they do not.
That is a state to state issue. Grandparents are being allowed to go into court these days and get rights though. I added a couple links for you to visit for more information. Hope this helps.
The grandparents should consult with an attorney. The factors considered in Minnesota for grandparent visitation rights include determination of whether one of the child's parents is deceased, or a parent has had his or her parental rights terminated. The court must also consider the relationship between the grandparent and grandchild. Adoption cuts off the visitation rights of grandparents unless the adoption is granted to a stepparent or a blood relative.See related link.The grandparents should consult with an attorney.

Grandparent or anyone else can never demand visitation, it is up to the parents to decide. The grandparents can in some states go to court to get visitation rights but the court will also listen to the parents.
Go to court. Grandparents have rights too.
There are NO grandparent's rights in the state of michigan.

Legally you have no such rights like visitation rights like parents have so if the parents/guardian is denying access you can go to court. Contact Grandparents Association. Courts will decide if you can put forward any motions to visitation.
Allowing such visitation would be totally at the discretion of the adopting parents. There is not a law that would force them to allow any relatives of the adopted child to continue a relationship. Grandparents as does any person that can is considered an "interested party" have the option to file for guardianship or adoption of the child if they so choose.

It depends on the laws in the country in question, but it is not uncommon for grandparents to seek, and be given, visiting rights.
