In general, no, you do not have legal rights with respect to nieces and nephews unless you were their primary guardian at one time.
Generally, no. You would have no legal standing to sue for visitation rights. Parental rights trump all others. There would need to be extraordinary circumstances.
the name of the two key documents that contain our rights and freedoms
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.

the bio-father still has more rights as obvisouly he is the true father
If you sign over your parental rights, you do just that. You forfit any rights whatsoever you have to the child in question. You will have no legal relation to the child and no right to visit, make decisions for, or claim to be the parent of said child. You are also absolved from paying any future child support. This legal action is not reversible, and takes extreme court measure and consideration.
Call the great nephew Joe and the great aunt Pamela. If Pamela is the sister of Joe's grandmother or grandfather, then Joe and Pamela are "blood relatives." However, Pamela could be the wife of a brother of one of Joe's grandmother's or grandfathers and still be Joe's great aunt. In that case, Pam and Joe are not "blood relatives."
In Texas, grandparents do not have automatic legal rights to visit their grandchildren. However, they may petition the court for visitation rights under certain circumstances, such as if the grandchild's parent is deceased, incarcerated, or if it is in the child's best interest to have visitation with the grandparent.
No. You no longer have any right to see the child. It is up to the person with legal custody and they may or may not allow you to visit with the child. If your parental rights were terminated it is likely that you will not be able to see the child.
Having visitation rights does not compell you to visit, it only means that you have the right to do so if you so desire. So there is no particular advantage to losing visitation rights. If you don't want to visit, don't visit.

Since you don't have a court order saying when he can visit the child, you can make the arrangements to suit yoursellf.
No, it is 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.
With visitation rights? Yes, if it's court ordered.
Depending on the state laws, no, it's not legal. If the parent has acknowledged their parental rights on a birth certificate, they have paternal or maternal rights to visit or see the child regardless of monetary trade. If a parent has NOT been placed on a birth certificate/acknowledged parent rights, they legally do not exist as a parent to the child and therefore do not have rights or responsibilities, unless first undergoing either a DNA/Paternity test or admitting to the conception.
