While only an adoptive parent, and not an attorney or any legal representative- Rescinding an adoption is not easy in Illinois, practically impossible, and even harder since "Baby Richard" and the laws that were enacted because of that case. Birth parents must either sign papers in court in front of a judge to terminate their parental rights, or be proven unfit, before the adoption can even proceed.
Once the adoption is final, court documents are impounded, birth certificates are changed, social security records are changed. While birth and adoptive parents can pursue whatever informal or documented "open" adoption procedures they choose, those procedures are not binding upon the adoptive parents. Once the adoption is final, the adoptive parents in Illinois are under no obligation to allow the birth parents or the birth families to have any contact with the adopted children whatsoever if they choose. Illinois is a closed adoption state.
And that adoption is locked tighter than a safe! There have to be extremely good reasons to release the records from impound, and there have to be even better ones to pursue rescinding the adoption.
Your best bet, as is the best bet of anybody pursuing adoption, is to find the best attorneys you can afford, pay the retainer, and see if you have a case to rescind the adoption. If the attorney you choose finds you do not, perhaps there are other ways to achieve what you want to achieve legally: A name change, having birth parents adopt an adult, etc.
