Here is my take. My daughter was born in California. We live in S. Florida. Once the adoption was finalized, I found Florida to be way more adoptive parent friendly. I have had the unfortunate scare of California being PRO BIRTHMOM!
Basically, if my daughter's birthmom had a ton of money, had a great lawyer, and wanted to parent my daughter, she would be able to. It wouldn't matter that my daughter is already two years old and has been with us since birth.
California is very liberal and famous for having the ability to overturn an adoption. The way they do it is by claiming "Fraud." on the adoptive parents side.
This is not to say Dee (bmom) wants to or will do so. But she got upset with me a couple of months ago (long story, but had to do with crossing boundaries). She threatened to take legal action.
I was informed by our facillitator (after checking things out with a few California lawyers) that Dee could have the adoption overturned if she really wanted to.
