No, you can't "unadopt" children. If you and your wife get divorced and she gets custody of the children, you would have to pay her child support in an amount consistent with the child support guidelines based on your and her respective gross monthly incomes. As far as the bankruptcy is concerned, unless it's a joint bankruptcy there's no requirement you need to make those payments. It's up to the court in the divorce case to determine how marital debt should be allocated.
