I would imagine, and honestly hope for the best interests of the child, that there would be nothing a person could do after that period of time. I know for a fact that in states with a punative father registry (like Ohio) that a birthfather has only a certain period of time (30 days in OH) to come forward after the child's birth. Ohio basically works like this: if you have sex with a woman, you are on notice that the woman COULD be pregnant and its your responsibility to follow up on that. "I didn't know she was pregnant" is just not enough in this state to overturn an adoption. And most adoptions are finalized with one year of placement and once finalized, there is little anyone can do at all. It would be extremely rare, and practically non-existant for this to occur. Not sure if your question is hypothetical or a personal issue, but to the best of my knowledge, this is the reality.
