Speaking as an adoptive mom who, like another poster, wanted a baby more than anything else in the world, don't sign those papers when you aren't sure of what you're doing.
Being family, I know it makes things even more complicated, but your daughter is family too. And if what you truly want is to keep her, then that is what you should do.
It may hurt your family, but families have a way of healing over time. Even when you think it can never happen.
As for having to pay them back, usually you do not unless there is some type of signed agreement involved. It would probably be best to consult your attorney on that issue.

I also agree that you should - go get your baby. If you have regrets now, imagine how much more you will regret it if you let her go.

being an adoptive parent, i would not want the first mother of my child to have doubts or regrets about her decision, i would rather lose time and money than adopt a child under those conditions, i would miss the money etc, i might be upset but not so much i would want the first mother to go thru and she wasn't sure, thats how i feel
