It is my understanding that whether custody is transferred or parental rights are terminated for adoption that the social security is continued with the child until they are 18. I have a friend whose oldest son receives the social security even after the adoption though it does affect the amount of her adoption subisdy.

this is true...even children who are adopted continue to received survivors benefits from a deceased biological parent until the child turns 18.

I received survivor benefits from my deceased father after my adoption until I graduated from high school -- six months after turning 18.
