I live in Ohio and my parental rights are about to be terminated due to child in foster care and cannot return home she will be placed up for adoption,do I still have to pay child support?

Once the child is adopted your financial responsibility ceases.

This did not help.we are like days from permanent custody being done do I still pay after that

Is it an actual legal adoption? Or just custody?

If it's custody--you keep paying.

If it's adoption, you don't.

How did it not help? Until the adoption is finalized you are responsible for supporting the child, Afterwards you aren't. Unless there is a court order saying anything different that's they way it goes.

Melpj,
Perhaps you misunderstand. In basic terms, Scott is saying that once the child is adopted (no longer yours) you do not ("ceases") have to pay.

I wish your child well.
