At the moment, your mother-in-law, through adoption has primary responsibility for the two nephews. If she wants to relinquish her parental rights and return them back to their natural mother, assuming she wants to take them back, she can file a petition for termination of parental rights and petition for adoption where the natural mother will basically readopt her previously adopted sons. There are some requirements re: adoption process, so it's best to retain an adoption attorney to guide you through the process.
