1. Upon the entry of an order of adoption, the child shall become the legal child of the persons adopting the child, and they shall become the child’s legal parents with all the rights and duties between them of parents and child.

2. By virtue of an adoption, the child shall inherit from the adoptive parents or their relatives the same as though the child were the biological child of such parents and, in case of the death of the child intestate, the adoptive parents and their relatives shall inherit the child’s estate as if they had been the child’s biological parents and relatives.

3. After a parent has executed a specific consent to adoption or relinquishment or the parental rights of the parent have been terminated, and the court has entered an order of adoption:

(a)The parent is relieved of all parental responsibilities for the adopted child and shall not exercise or have any rights over the adopted child or the property of the adopted child; and

(b)The child does not owe the parent any legal duty and may not inherit from that parent or a relative of that parent.

4. Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary in this section, the adoption of a child does not in any way change the status of the relationship between the child and any parent who is a petitioner and whose parental rights have not been terminated.
