If someone adopts this child, then you can be off the hook financially. Did you find this answer helpful?0 Users found this answer helpful. 0 Attorneys agree with this answer.

Answered on: 4/27/12, 1:05 pm by Michael SchneiderThe law, in essence is that even though you give up your rights, you do not give up your responsibilities. The only way to lose that responsibility is if someone else adopts your child, as in a step parent adoption, for example. Good luck!
