What is the diffrence between when someone has custody over your kids and when they have adopted them?

Answer 1

Custody- they have guardianship over that child, but the parental rights have not been terminated

Adopted- - all paternal rights to the birth parents are terminated and the child is up for adoption to a new family and assumes all rights and privlidges as a bio child

Answer 2

adoption is more final and complete-if someone takes your kids by custody fight-you could get them back-or they still remain your children no matter who they live with

in adoption the new parents get ALL parental rights.and the parent losing them gives up all rights
