Reverse Adoption Adoption Law
Can the natural parent or the adoptive parent change his/her mind after adoption?
Most states have a waiting period before the formal adoption becomes final. During this waiting period the natural parent may change his/her mind, stop the adoption from being finalized, and resume responsibility for the child. The time period within which the biological mother can revoke her consent is fairly short–48 to 72 hours after birth–unless she lives in a state that follows the Uniform Adoption Act which allows her 8 days from birth to revoke her consent. After the waiting period, the formal adoption becomes final and the natural parents’ rights and obligations toward the child are terminated.
