Re: Adopted child

You may cease visiting with the child, and may relinquish your parental rights, But, you may still be obligated to provide support. Once adopted, the responsibility is the same as with a biological child. However, as an adoptive parent you may be required to pay back some of the assistance you may have gotten from the state or federal government, if you choose to cease direct care and upbringing.

Good Luck
