No. When the Court entered a Judgment on the adoption, your biological parent(s) lost their legal rights. If they want to go to Court to attack the Judgment of Adoption, your wishes would be considered but would not be controlling. At 17, you will be an adult before any legal action could be effected. Still, you may ask your biological parent(s) to consult with an attorney.
