Can you adopt a child that you already have custody of when the mother threw the child in trash can after birth and after 2 years does not want to give up parental rights?

If you are not the biological father of the child then no the mother still retains her rights as the child's maternal mother and therefore can put a stop to you adopting her child.
In such cases the mother would have be proven enough of an unfit parent that her rights are legally stripped from her but that is very slim chance unless her behavior puts the child in danger.
Now once the child reaches a certain age (which is different in different states and countries) the child may decide they want you to adopt them and may choose to be adopted by you in which case the court would (usually) honor the child's decision and allow the adoption to proceed.
