Since you have posted the facts inaccurately, no response is possible.

An adoption can only be filed if either your fiance signed a surrender for adoption or unless her rights were permanently terminated.

I'd suggest two things: (1) your fiance needs to see a lawyer and (2) you may want to repost and not leave out what has happened so you can get an accurate answer about adoption.
