(1) The right of the child to inherit from his biological parents and other relatives.

(2) The right of the child to benefits due him from any third person, agency, state, or the United States based on his status as a child of his biological parents or the rights and benefits that a native American derives from his descent from a member of a federally recognized Indian Tribe.

(3) The right of the child to pursue any civil action, other than future child support, against his biological parents.
