Once adopted the child becomes a part of that family just as if they were born into it. If the adoptive parents die the socialworkers will ask the relatives and if they can not the child will go to foster care and up fpor adoption again. But the birth parents can never adopt the child back.
When adopted you have the same rights as the biological children to inherit your parents.
None. Unless the godfather is in the will as the person who will be given the child if the parent dies, there are no rights. If the will does not otherwise specify how to handle the child, and you want to adopt the child, you should get in contact with the social workers who are handling the child(ren). Case workers often prefer to place children with family, or family friends when it's possible and safe to do so. You'll still have to become licensed as a foster/adoptive parent in your state.
Minor children are only eligible for SS benefits when a parent dies. In cases such as mentioned above, once a child has been legally adopted the biological parent is no longer responsible for the financial welfare of that child.
A legally adopted child is considered the parent's child just as much as if they had given birth to that child. So being adopted does not affect the rights or the heirship of the deceased parent's house and assets, even if they have biological children, as well. What does matter, is the state's laws regarding heirships with or without a will. You need to consult an attorney if there is no will to see what your rights are.
yes. my friends friend mum adopted her when her parents dies in a plane crash
yes, if the step parent name is assigned to the child.
no
When a child is put up for adoption it means the biological parent has given up all legal rights to the child. In the same way the child has no legal claim on the biological parents. The person that adopts a child takes all legal responsibility.
In the eyes of the law a properly (that is to say 'legally') adopted child will have the same rights as a biological child.
The guardian gets the child support, but the child can receive social security on behalf of the deceased parent until they are 18.
inheritance, at least I think that's how you spell it
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
