Does a child have rights to a parent that gave up rights to said child?
What kind of rights do you mean? Sometimes parental rights are severed but the child may fare poorly in the adoption process and still long for contact with the natural parent. Lot's of these kids do reunite with parents whose rights have been severed. A child has a right to seek information and contact with the natural parent if they so desire. Some states have procedures. Arizona does.
AnswerYou cannot force someone to love you, or even to see you. If you were given up for adoption by a parent, you can seek out that person and make contact with them, but if that parent is unwilling to meet with you or pursue a relationship with you, you cannot legally force them to.The point is YES the child has rights. She has the right at the legal age of the state she is in, usually 16-18, make contact with her birth parent. Depending on the trail the birth parent has left to follow (address, phone number, name changes etc) it may require a lot of work to track the parent down. A parent who does not want to be found will make an effort to conceal their whereabouts, get an unlisted number or asked for the record to be sealed.

How many kids hate getting adopted?
I do. I was adopted 4 years ago, and every one of the 3 families that have taken care of me either lost me because of money issues or went to jail for different reasons. I'm going to my fourth family tomorrow, and I've met them once yesterday, and they seem nice so I hope we can keep this going for a while. It's been hard, it really has,

How does an adopted male affect a family genealogy lineage?
It makes the adopted family's lineage much more interesting. It depends where the adopted male lives and in most places you can find out who your biological parents are (the mother being more easily traced.) In most cases it's adviseable (at least here in Canada) because of health records and the "gene pool."
The adopted male IS part of the family, but it makes it all the more interesting to find out about the biological parents (no disgrace in having to give up your child if you are too young ... and some other reasons as well) and is added into your adopted family's genealogy. Very interesting and this person should be proud to add a little zip to the family tree!
Merry Christmas Marcy
This is a follow-up to my original question. I realise an adopted person is both emotionally and legally part of the family but they are not "blood" members. Does this fact have any genealogical impact on the branch of the family tree it which they are located? In other words is a classic genealogical lineage based on legal connections or blood lines or does it matter?
Usually when a child is adopted into a family, that is indicated on the chart with the word adopted. Otherwise, their heritage is the same as a blood member of the family. Adopted children are just as much descendants as biological descendants.
If a newborn is really in physical danger, get ahold of Social Services and they will probably help the mother and child leave the area.
because they are willing to take care of you and they love you
