No, the paternal grandmother cannot stop the adoption. Her request for a dismissal will be denied. She has no standing to contest the adoption. However, she may end up being given specific visitation rights as a result of her petition.
If you tried to do this without an attorney, its time to get one IMMEDIATELY.
