You should not be responsible for child support that was due after the adoption became final. You are responsible for any unpaid support from before the adoption. You should retain an attorney to review the situation and advise you how to proceed.

That depends on when the due date is each month. Technically support runs until the month after the child turns 19, so an argument could be made that you need to pay February, which would be your last month.
