Bio Father Re-adopting His Daughter


What is the name of your state?I am a 14 year old female living in Florida. I was adopted at age 1 by my Great Aunt and Uncle. My bio mother approved of the adoption, and my bio father did not. The judge granted my Aunt and Uncle the adoption, saying that my real father had never shown any parental actions. My bio father did not have the money to fight the case. That was 13 years ago, and up until recently I had never met him. As of now me and him are really close. My relationship with my adoptive parents has never been well, we don't really get along and such. My bio father is Black while my bio mother is White, my adoptive parents are a bit racists and I am constantly under-going scutiny from them for hanging out with friends of African-American decent which is anotehr basis of our problems. What my question really is, If my biological father wanted to adopt me back and I also wanted this, and he has been showing parental actions, is there any way that he can adopt me back, even if my adoptive parents disagreed?
Please help me with this, I want to know badly.

Yes. Once you are a legal adult, he can adopt you whether or not they agree.

Alright, but can he readopt me now, at age 14?
And/Or can he get some form of custody?

No. Legally, he is not your father. Thus, your parents would need to consent to any custody/visitation, etc.
