Question Looking for help in reversing step parent adoption

My friend is going through the final stages of a messy divorce. He adopted his wife's daughter after they had been married for 3 years (the daughter was 11 at the time). The daughter had no contact with her biological father her entire life and the biological father never paid child support. The wife made contact with him to have him sign to waive his parental rights. A year and a half later the wife filed to divorce my friend and is currently collecting $192 per week in child support. We realize that because his name is on the birth certificate he is legally obliged. Here is the major hang up and reason for reversal of the adoption.... his ex-wife is currently back living with the biological father and is pregnant with another child of his. There is no justice in them receiving child support from my friend. The divorce courts don't have case law to stand on especially since the original divorce was heard before she was pregnant. We are trying to find a way to reverse the adoption. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
