Assuming "disown" means the parent wants to give up his or her obligation to a minor child, then it is sometimes possible.
The parent wanting to voluntarily give up parental rights can file a Termnation of Parental Rights petition in the probate court in the county and state where they live.
If "disown" means to leave the child out of one's will then of course it is possible. There aren't laws which force anyone upon their demise to leave assets or property to children or other persons.
The exception being property that automatically reverts to a surviving spouse under state marital law.

No, unless the child is adopted in some sort of fraudulent manner. Even then you have no claim on that child.
they get put in a Foster Home, or if they are young maybe they would get adopted.
Well if the child is adopted before he or she is able to keep any real memory of the adoption the adoptive parents may tell him or her that he/she was adopted when the child is old enough to understand. Telling a child that the were adopted is hard to do, the child will have millions of questions like where is my birth parents, why was I adopted, and you may not be able to answer the. So advise to those telling their child they are adopted write down all the facts you know about the adoption like when it happened why it happened and if their birth parents want to be contacted. If the child was older say 6 and on when he/she was adopted they will know about it and will have questions. In some cases a child isn't told that he/she is adopted and may never know unless they find out on their own.
A parent is the biological or legally adoptive mother or father. If you have lost custody of your child you are still the child's parent in that sense. If you have allowed your child to be legally adopted you may not be in their life but you are still their parent in that sense. In a legal sense you can no longer make any decisions for the child and have no parental rights.
No, they have to be told.
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.
Yes. That is typically accomplished by disinheriting that child in your Will.
no
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.
