Legal and lawful adoption is a process that ends in the final and irrevocable transference of all rights and responsibilities for a child from the biological parents to the adoptive parents.

This can take many forms, from regular letters to frequent visits. Open adoption does not alter the legality of the adoption, the finality and irrevocability, in any way.
Can a father re-adopt his sons if the adopted parents are ok with it?
No. When you leave a child for adoption the papers you sign mean that you are legally prevented from being that child's parent again. The final decision on who will adopt a child is the courts even if the adoptive parents say yes in this case. The adoption can be reverted so the child is up for adoption again if they feel they are not his parents but the biological parents can not adopt him.
If your child is adopted without your knowledge do you have to pay child support arrearages?
That is not possible unless fraud has been committed by the custodial parent. Before a child is eligible for adoption all legal steps must be completed as outlined by the laws of the state in which the child is a resident. A biological parent must voluntarily relinquish his or her rights to the child or have those rights permanently terminated by the court. An adoption cannot proceed until the above litigation is completed and a final TPR decree granted. When a child is legally adopted by a new spouse or by a qualified party, the responsibility of financial support by a biological parent(s) is terminated. The court will address the issue of arrearages and if they are applicable before the adoption becomes final.
