Not necessarily. It can establish parentage assuming the parent is still living or there are other means of DNA matching. Matching the parent can give the individual legal standing to contest a will or establish their rights in the case of intestacy. State's legislate probate laws and procedures concerning Wills and the distribution of a deceased estate who dies intestate.

What are the rights of a birth parent once she relinquishes their custody to a child?

That depends on the circumstances of the custody modification. Was it permanent, temporary, was the child adopted, did the parent voluntarily relinquish parental rights or were they terminated by the court? No one here can possibly give you an answer without a lot of detailed information including your legal residence. You should really consult an attorney anyway. He or she would be able to provide an informed and detailed opinion on whether or not you have any rights and if so, what they are.
