Termination of parental rights (TPR) must be granted before the adoption is completed. Usually the child is placed in DSS care for several months to years until TPR is granted by the court. The first purpose of the court is to re-unify the birth parents and the child, if there isn't signicant improvement, they will begin move the child toward TPR. Many times the parents will sign the child over to DSS. After TPR of BOTH parents, the child is available for adoption. Once the child is placed in an adoptive home, there is a trial period of about 3-6 months and then the paperwork can be completed for adoption. This is what I've learned from being a foster parent for 3 years. We did adopt our daughter, but we asked that she have TPR before she was placed with us. It caused us to spend several years waiting for her, but I didn't lose her. I was placed with another child this summer who didn't have TPR and had to give her back. I still hurt over that!!

When a mother dies intestate and her only child was adopted at birth are there any inheritance rights?

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.
