Are birth parents allowed to see their child after parental rights are termianted?
Answers:
Only if an open adoption was decreed as in the child's best interest at the time of termination.
Once the parents rights are terminated, everything is viewed as "in the best interest of the children". What the parents want is irrelevent. If the kids therapist says it's good for the kid, the parent has a chance for regular visitation...so long as it's in the best interest of the child.
Generally speaking, no, unless they have a legal agreement with the adoptive parents.
As far as I am concern not tell the child is of age first.
It depends on how the parental rights were terminated. If the termination was due to neglect or abuse, it is unlikely. If the termination was voluntary, such as for adoption, if the adoption was an "open adoption," they would have visitation rights.
I may also depend on the age of the child at termination. An older child who wants to maintain a relationship might be allowed to.
It is highly unlikely.
If the new parents, out of the goodness of their hearts, and utter stupidity, give permission, then birth parents may visit.
I say utter stupidity, because birth parents who have lost parental rights, can grow attached to their kids, and try to make trouble for the legal parents.
say wa?
