Does Anyone Know If Foster Parents Have Rights To A Foster Childs Baby If She Had It When She Was Over 18 ? I Lived With My Foster Parents Until I Was 20. I Had A Baby At 18yrs Old. I Am Unfortunately No Longer On Good Terms With Them, But They Threaten That They Have Grandparent Rights Since My Child And I Lived With Them For 2 Years. Is There Such Rights ? They Never Adopted Me So I Don't See How They Have Any Rights To My Child.

You're right. They don't have any rights to do anything with (or even see) the child unless you allow it. You are the mother and they are not even relatives.
Note: in most states, there is no such thing as grandparents rights anyway. But even if your state acknowledges grandparents rights, people you are not legally related to can't have them.
Also - it wouldn't matter how old you were when you had the child. Still your child, and they are still not related.
Now, there is one possible exception - they may get a judge to say they have some sort of "psychological" interest in the child. It could be psychologically damaging to a child to have people he saw every day for two years suddenly be "gone" because his mother decided to move away because of a disagreement. This is not a legal thing that I know of, but some courts have said it of step parents (who were also not legally related to the child).
Hope that helps.
