Re: Reverse adoption, as an adult
I don't know that there is a procedure to reverse an adoption within current Ohio law. As a practical matter, reversing an adoption would be akin to reversing a birth. You can apply for a name change through your local probate court. The name change would also be reflected on your birth certificate pursuant to an order of the probate court.
I am sorry for the things you have had to endure in your life. Hopefully this response will give your some direction for a new beginning.
