Yes, if the birthparent petitions the court before the adoption is final, and shows that the placement was made under duress, fraud, or that the adoption would not be in the childs best interest. The court will hold a hearing to determine if it is in the childs best interest for the birthparent to withdraw the consent to adopt.
