I'm in agreement with everyone else - once the adoption is LEGALLY COMPLETED, then the birth parents can sue all they want, but they won't win. Courts have always honored the legitimacy of completed legal adoptions.
However, we all have heard about times when the adoption was not legally completed, and the birth parents have won their cases for custody or visitation. Either somebody skipped a legal step, or somebody didn't notify somebody else, or somebody was forced into signing something, etc. If the basic legality of the adoption is in doubt, it is possible that the birth parents could win.
And I have heard of ONE single case, several years ago, where a woman whose son was taken from her and placed in foster care, and her rights terminated, actually did get her life back together and kept it together for several years. At that time she discovered that her son was still in foster care and had not been adopted - he was a teenager by then. She petitioned to be allowed to adopt him, and she won. But that was soley because he had not been adopted.
I hope that helps.
