Probably not, but you might want to have a Virginia attorney who is knowledgeable regarding the Commonwealth's adoption law and procedures review the paperwork and related facts associated with the matter.

Guardianship for your daughter would've been the better remedy in this
situation rather than adoption as the former can be rather easily terminated or rescinded unlike the latter.
