You MUST ask an attorney in the state where the adoption took place.
There are too many variables...
how old was mother?
how long ago did this take place?
where did this take place?
Don't bother writing back with the answers. I'm not an attorney and even an attorney on this site would need to ask you TONS of questions and do some investigating. This is a VERY SPECIALIZED problem requiring an EXPERT.

The birth mother was in drug rehab and her mother and sister had her sign custody papers she found out later they were adoption papers Can this be overturned?
Maybe. In the United States adoption is a state matter. The laws of adoption and fraud vary from state to state. The laws concerning having someone giving up rights while in a mental institution also vary. The time periods between the time when adoption proceedings start and when the court finalizes them also vary. Now we get to a particular. In this state if you signed your child over to your sister, it can be overturned. If you turned your child over to an adoption agency, they had a lawyer draw up the papers. Their records are sealed. It would probably take a court order to open their records. That would be difficult to get. If you signed the papers more than six months ago, then the adoption is final. You could still challenge the adoption. The court would determine which family would be best for the child. Would the child be better off in a middle class home in a middle class neighborhood with two stable hard working church going parents or would the child be better off with a drug addict for a mother. The concerns of the child would then come first, not the desires of the biological mother. The bottom line is that she needs to consult with an attorney who specializes in custody and adoption as soon as possible.
What are legal rights for fathers in Wisconsin if the baby has not yet been born but mother is in labor and adoption papers have not been cancelled?
I would think that if the mother and father are not together and the mother is willing to give up custody of the child to the father than the father would have rights to the child. If the adoption papers haven't been canceled yet they will have to be signed when the baby is born saying that the mother and father give up parental rights to the child
Custody of a child between adoptive lesbian mother and biological grandparents?
If the adoption has been finalized, the adoptive mother has custody... period. The time to try and get custody was while the child was in foster care, before the adoption was finalized. Personally, I think it would be good to keep the bio grandparents involved in the child(ren)'s life if it's safe, unless a therapist has judged it to be not in the best interests of the chid(ren)
