I don't think it is possible. However in some states it is mandatory that there be someone willing to adopt the child, before a court will allow the father to sign away his rights.
Basically, you'll have to check the family laws of the state you're currently in to know for sure what will be allowed as far as the signing away of parental rights is concerned.

∙ 13y agoIf the only reason is to remove child support obligations the answer is No. Only courts have the authority to terminate parental rights. In fact, when a biological parent has proved to be such a poor parent that their continued involvement would be detrimental to the child a court can terminate parental rights and the parent is still financially responsible for the child.
Courts are always reluctant to allow the voluntary termination of parental rights unless the reason is to facilitate an adoption. They generally recognize that a child is entitled to the support of both parents. The legal parent has the responsibility to provide financial support for the child. The possibility of obtaining approval from a court is further reduced if the custodial parent is receiving any kind of assistance. Many courts do not allow it at all unless the child will be adopted by another responsible adult or the remaining parent has the resources necessary to fulfill the needs of the child.

In the state of New Jersey, you can get a body piercing as young as the age of 16 with proper parental consent, i.e.; BOTH parents present at the time of paperwork completion and for the procedure, both of their state issued ID's, and a copy of your birth certificate. Even with the age of 16 stated, most shops still won't perform work on you if you are under the age of 17.

Technically it is possible but you added this to the Adoption category and if that was the reason you gave the rights up, no you can not have them back. If there was another reason it depends on if the circumstances have changed and if the judge can trust you not to do it again. You need to consult a lawyer about your chances based on your specific case.
