Until it goes to court and the judge decrees the adoption to be final the first mother still has her rights. And depending on what state you are in, she may have a time period after the adoption is final to change her mind.
When I adopted my step daughter, her first mom had a week to change her mind after the final decree was signed. |

The procedure for termination of parental rights-- including paperwork needed and applicable revocation period-- is quite different from state to state.
To get help with this, you'll need to either tell us which state you live in, or search the internet for "[Your State] + termination of parental rights"
Without knowing where you are, we can't tell you the rules in your area, since the process is not standard between states. |
