[WSBAPT] Adoptee is not the "child" or "descendent" of biological/non-adoptive parent

[Laura Latta]

Hello Listmates,

Does anyone have a citation handy for the proposition that when a
biological parent places a child for adoption and the adoption is
finalized, the adoptee will no longer fall within the definition of child
or descendant of the biological parent as that term is used in statutes,
contracts, wills etc.

The statutes I have reviewed state that adoptees are the issue of the
adoptive parent (e.g RCW11.02.005(11) and RCW 22.33.260), but I have not
come across anything that *explicitly* states the inverse - that adoptee is
no longer the issue of the biological parent.

I'm sure I could dig up a case, but I thought I'd check here first and see
if anyone has chased this down before.

Warmly,
Laura
