text: does the biological grandparents of an adopted child have any rights?   beside the law, if they are decent human beings and the adoption issue is open with the child, welcome the christmas presents and the caring adults into the child's life.  should you be having trouble with these people, i believe they do not have any legal recourse, but i also think this is untested in the courts.  so, president would have to be set by a first case of adopted grandparents trying for visitation of the child.  i am not a lawyer and i do not know court cases well.  you may need to state what state you are in for a lawyer to answer properly.
