I'm not sure, but I would think this would be similar to a birth mothert having a certain length of time to change her mind before the adoption of her baby is final. If voluntary relinquishment of parental rights has not been finalized, then you just may be able to stop it if you act in time. Contact an attorney to find out what you need to do to stop it.
Voluntary termination of parental rights.
In general, the grounds for termination of parental rights are: voluntary (usually as part of the adoption process) and; after a trial and a verdict that the parent is unfit.
You will need to go back to court.
Termination of parental rights can be voluntary or involuntary, that is, with or without there is a period during which the birthparent may appeal.
DHS can file for involuntary termination if the parents are not fit. Otherwise, a voluntary termination would be necessary. If they are not willing to do so, you will have to prove them unfit.
In most States, there is no provision for revoking or reversing the termination of parental rights except under certain circumstances such as fraud, duress, coercion, etc. Since termination is a legal issue decided by the court, you should speak to a family law attorney with all the information about your case.

Texas has a form, however it still requires the approval of the court which is unwilling to suspend child support in this economy. see links
This depends a lot on where you live.Is your union recognized by the state?If so, you probably handle it like any other step-parent adoption.If not, there's a good chance that you won't be able to.You'll probably need a termination of the other birth parent's parental rights (TPR = termination of parental rights). This can be voluntary (birth parent signs a voluntary surrender) or involuntary (which can be hard to get, generally requires that the other birth parent has abandoned the children, or is a danger in some way)
how do i write up a petition for termination of paternal rights
termination of parental rights.
There are really only two ways you can voluntarily terminate your parental rights. A - The child is determined to not be yours, B - The custodial parent requests it, for example, if they are remarrying and want you to transfer the rights to the new partner, and you agree to this. There is never any scope to terminate the rights 'just because' you want to.
