is the child already adopted?

how long ago did she place the child for adoption? in some states they have 30-90 days to revoke their consent, in some states the consents are irrovokable, meaning once the consent is signed, they cannot change their minds. if the adoption is already final, its too late, you and your daughter are no longer related to the child legally, and you have no rights.

Revocation of Consent
Statute: § 9:3-41(a)


If executed according to provisions, surrender to an agency is valid, binding, and irrevocable, and constitutes a termination of parental rights.

At the discretion of the agency, consent may be set aside when based on fraud, duress, or misrepresentation.
