The adoption laws don't tell birth parents they can't change their minds ... they only say that even if the birth parents change their minds, if everything was done legally then they cannot force you to give the child back to them.
They can change their minds, they can hire a lawyer, they can even take you to court. They just won't win.
Just be honest before the child is born about the kind of contact you want the child (and you ) to have with the birth family. How much time you'll spend together before the birth, how much input the mother will have as to the name you'll choose for him, and if you're comfortable with visits or not.
As long as you're HONEST about what you mean and want, the birth parents can make an educated decision about whether they will accept that level of involvement or not, and whether they want you to adopt the child or not.
And as long as they are honest about what they mean and want, you can decide if it's a situation you'll accept or not.
Good luck!
