I live in Florida and I was adopted at the age of 17. It went through 9 days before my 18th birthday. I am now 23 years of age and I want to reverse the adoption. My biological father was not allowed to see me, by my mother. Despite any agreements in the court, she would not let me see him. She disparaging him in front of me and to me whenever I brought him up. She insisted I should ask him to sign the adoption paperwork because "if I ask him, he won't do it. You have to. Hell do it for you."

I feel I was tricked, for lack of a better word. The man who adopted me turned sour the moment the adoption went through. I want it reversed, and I want to set things right with my real father.

I'm not sure if a reverse adoption can be completed this late in the game but I'd like all the information I can get. Thank you.

You can't reverse the adoption. Ask your biological father to adopt you as an adult.
