A.  Definitions

C.R.S. § 19-1-103(107)
Termination frees the child for adoption. Termination of the parent-child legal relationship means the court permanently eliminates all parental rights and duties. 

C.R.S. § 19-1-103(93)
This includes residual parental rights and responsibilities, such as the:
  • Right to consent to adoption;
  • Right to visit the child;
  • Right to determine the child’s religion;
  • Duty to pay future child support.
C.R.S. § 19-3-608
After termination, the parent is not entitled to notice of adoption. The parent has no right to participate in the adoption proceeding. A termination order divests the parent and child of all legal rights, powers, privileges, immunities, duties and obligations to each other.

C.R.S. § 19-3-608(1) and (2)
The child can still inherit from the biological parent. The child also remains eligible after termination for any third-party benefits from any agency, state, Indian tribe, or the U.S. government. However, these rights end after a final adoption decree.
