The answer to this is no. When a child is adopted, (that is, legally adopted) this creates a permanent legal relationship between the new parent(s) and the child. The child's birth parents no longer have any guardianship rights over the child nor does the child have inheritance rights from the birth parents.
The birth parents can choose to leave the child something, but s/he has no rights to claim anything.
