Re: Visitation, family law
Once an adoption goes through, the biological parents' parental rights are terminated and they are legally strangers to the child. You can choose to let them (or anyone else) visit with your child, and you can decide to stop said visitation at any point you choose to do so.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
