sounds like something a judge should look at. But bottom line is the child can dis-own the adopted parent but the same can not dis-inherit the child

When they are 18.If you give up the child for adoption,they are no longer legally your child,they are the child of the adoptive parents.Just imagine how you would feel if you adopted a child and then the biological parent came back on the scene after the hard work of raising a child was almost over.Would you like to give that child up?You made the choice years ago to give this child up,too late to change your mind now.

Legally an adopted child cannot just leave their adopted parents' home and move in with their biological parent until they are 18 or have gone to court and have been emancipated. You have to have a very good reason for the judge to do that. Just wait to you are 18 years old when you are legally an adult and you can do as you please. Just be careful. It may be all lovey dovey peachy creamy now. But you may start having "why did you give me away" problems. Take things very slowly. Remember your adopted parents are your parents and tell chose you. Start your relationship with your biological parent very slowly and carefully. You will experience resentment sooner or later. Especially if they have other children they kept. Does your biological parent even want you to live with them. This may be a teenage rebellion phase you are going through with your parents. You hate them and want to find your real mother and live with her. It is not that easy. Good Luck. Get some counseling.

When a person gives their child up for adoption, their parental rights are terminated. Therefore, your biological mother has NO legal rights to you at all, and you (as long as you are under 18) do not have the right to choose to live with her or even to have contact with her if your parents forbid it.
As far as emancipation, no judge is going to emancipate a child so they can live with their biological parent whose rights have been terminated.
In order to be emancipated a minor has to prove that they are capable of fully supporting themselves, which means paying for rent, utilities, groceries, medical expenses, etc with no help from anyone, so moving in another person and depending on them for even partial support isn’t going to cut it. They also have to provide a valid reason that emancipation would be in their best interest. Not getting along with your parents or wanting to have a relationship with someone that they’ve forbidden you from having contact with isn’t a valid reason. The minor also has to have the maturity to function as an adult. The court can require other things as well and can deny emancipation for any reason that they see fit. Emancipation is rarely granted.

they can when they reach the legal age of 18.
but if she is under 18 the adoptive parents could choose to allow it. of course child support issues might come up (the birth mother wanting child support from the adoptive parents)
you could allow a guardianship...
an older teen might be able to get emancipated...maybe..
but that takes a judge.
of course the child can run away. even run away repeatedly.
i recommend just let them go for the summer and
they will want to come back.
it just depends on the situation.

My guess would be age 18. I am not sure that I have ever heard of this particular thing happening before.
