Hi All,

Re: Regarding Adoption cancellation

once a child has been adopted, the adoption cannot be cancelled in any circumstances whatsoever. the registered or unregistered document that your adoptive father had executed is not valid in the eyes of law and you would always be considered an adoptive son.
