Adoption laws vary by state. When we adopted Liberty, we had sign off from the mother and father when the process started 5 months before Lib was born. If they changed their mind, they would have had to take legal action to do so, they certainly didn't have an option just to reclaim the child without a lot of effort and after the adoption was finalized 6 months later, they had no legal recourse. Some states aren't quite as progressive as Michigan. We were lucky enough to have adopted through the lawyer who worked to get most of the laws put in place in MI.
