Your obligation for child support ends if the child is adopted and you are no longer legally responsible for the child. You would need a legal paperwork showing that you have given up all of your parental rights.
For self represented individuals, you can always check out the family law facilitator in your local court house for self help. Additionally, please consult with a local attorney prior to taking any legal action.
Good luck,
