If One sibling is adopted by grandparent are they still brother and sister?

Legally, if one sibling is adopted by a grandparent, they are no longer considered siblings in the eyes of the law. However, blood relation and close emotional bonds may still exist between them, leading them to consider each other as brother and sister in a more personal sense.


Is an adopted child still called a stepchild?

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.


If parental rights are still in effect does a parent have a legal right to see his or her child?

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.

How can your father take back a car from your sister if both names are on the title?

If your sister is under 18 (a minor), regardless if her name is on the title or not, she is not considered legally "of age" - your/her father is her parent/guardian and can exercise his parental authority. Even if your sister is over 18, your father is still half owner of the car and does have property rights to at least half of it, and its value.
