Full Question:
My husband and I raised our granddaughter from birth to age 15 and she now lives with her biological mother in another state. We legally adopted her but would now like to have her biological mother be responsible for her. Can an adoption be undone? We really can't afford a whole big expensive thing here, but would like to not be responsible for a teenager who lives in another state.

Answer:
Adoptions are generally not "reversible", as long as legal requirements were followed and there was no fraud, etc. The adoptive parents would need to voluntarily relinquish their parental rights and the biological parents would need to petition the court to have parental rights reinstated.
