Before pursuing a stepparent adoption, you should consider whether it is truly the best thing for the child. While you may see it as a way to bring your new family closer together, keep in mind that the child may not want to sever his ties with his birth parent. By adopting your stepchild, the biological parent will no longer have any parental rights and all legally allowed visitations will cease. If the child and parent maintain regular communication and continue to have a strong relationship, be aware that the adoption could cause emotional and psychological harm to the child. In these cases, it may be best to remain a stepparent and allow the child to continue his or her relationship with their biological parent. Everyone's situation is unique, but use your best judgment, and always consider the welfare of the child.

There are various types of adoption laws in Ohio depending on the family situation in question. They include stepparent and even grandparent laws. A new law has also been acted to allow adults who have been adopted to have more access to the information concerning their case.
To my knowledge, adoptions in the state of Louisiana are irrevocable. Once you've made the tie, you're forever bound to that person. I believe this to be due to Louisiana's model of adoption being based on the French model, which in turn is based on the ancient Roman model.
You have asked two different questions. First, you probably can not reverse an adoption. Second, it is easy to change your name. It is a simple legal procedure. You do not need to reverse an adoption to do it. You fill out the forms, petition the court, and the judge signs the petition. You have changed your name back to your birth name.
In Tennessee, a child must be at least 14 years old to express their consent to a stepparent adoption. If the child is 14 or older, their consent is required for the adoption to proceed. However, if the child is younger than 14, the court will not require their consent, but may still consider their wishes in the adoption process.
The court will let children ages 10 speak their mind but it is always the biological parents who have a say first. But no court will allow adoption if the child is against it from ages 10 and up.
The person is now an adult and therefore an adoption could not be "reversed' or expunged. The adult can change his or her name back to their birth name or to any other they might choose.
