They have rights if the step grandparent left a specific gift in their Will. However, if not mentioned in a Will they have no legal rights in a step grandparent's estate.
It depends on the details of your situation, such as whether you are married, divorced or never married and whether the father has any custody rights or visitation rights.

Need more info in order to to answer. Taken by who? For what reason? Where is the father in all this? In what part, if any, do the PATERNAL grandparents enter into this? In most states, grandparent's rights are based through the parent's rights. If a parent's rights are terminated, then the grandparent's rights are also lost. Sad, but true.
Legal Custody is different than Parental rights. The courts decides child visitation, etc. and parents could pay child support to grandparent. It is all up to the courts..

Unfortunately grandparents don't have many rights when it comes to adoption. I think an appeal of sorts can be put in, but I don't think there's much a grandparent can do to prevent adoption.
The court decides if he is allowed to terminate his parental rights. The custodial parent can then give custody to a grandparent if they wish. Both of you would then have3 to pay child support to the grandparent. Terminating parental rights does not get you out of paying for the child.
