In Canada, a parent can disown an adopted child by formally severing the legal relationship through a court process, typically involving a petition for termination of parental rights. This process may require showing just cause, such as abandonment or abuse, depending on provincial laws. It's important for the parent to seek legal advice to understand the implications and ensure that the child's best interests are considered. Additionally, the child may have rights and protections under adoption laws that need to be addressed.
No, they have to be told.
Yes. That is typically accomplished by disinheriting that child in your Will.

Adoptive or adopted. A child is adopted, a parent is adoptive.
no
Not until the child has reached adult age. In order for the child to be adopted the parent had to give up parental rights so they no longer have rights to the child.
No! Once a child is adopted they are legally the child of the adoptive parents. The only way that child could be a step-child is if the adoptive parents divorce and the custodial parent re-marries. Then the child becomes a step-child to the new parent.
No, once a child is adopted, the original parent or parents have no more rights to the child. This also means that child support is not required.
A single parent family is a type of family with only one parent present with either a blood related child/children or an adopted one.
No but unethical.
The child is not genetically related to either parent.
A legally adopted child will be treated as any other minor. Their adopted parents have the same rights and responsibilities as a biological parent. So, the answer is probably 18.
