The question asked here seems to indicate that parental rights have been terminated, and the child has been adopted. Now, the parent who terminated his/her rights wants to 'reverse' that decision because the adoptive parents refuse to give the child back.
If that is the question, the answer is going to depend on a number of factors (was the adoption finalized? etc...). But, the short answer is more than likely no. The adoption process in most states is very fine-tuned, and designed to protect the best interests of the child, along with protecting the rights of the adoptive parents. The court does not take kindly to removing a child from his/her adoptive parents. Allowing a parent who has terminated his/her rights to simply come back in when they change their mind, would discourage individuals from adopting, as well as possibly damage a child who is being removed from the only home he/she has known. This is why terminating your parental rights is such a crucial decision that must not be taken lightly. However, adoption laws vary from state to state, and in a case such as this I recommend you seek a family attorney who can evaluate your case, and explain the law in your state.
The adoption would need to be reversed.
The adoptive parents must voluntarily relinquish their parental rights and you must seek to have your legal custody restored through the court at the same time.
That depends on the legal guardians or adoptive parents who may not want you to complicate their life. Once you "sign off" your parental rights you have no rights regarding the children.

It can happen. Giving up one's parental rights, biological or adoptive, does not exempt one from having to pay child support.
Part of the adoption process involves the termination of rights of the biological parents. When the adoption is finalized, the adoptive parents assume the rights and responsibilities of the biological parents.
There are no photos of Steve Jobs' adoptive parents publicly available online. His adoptive parents have both passed away. To see a photo of his biological parents, see the related link.
The only way that parental rights will be terminated is if both parents and the family court agree that it is in the best interest of the child to terminate them. Simply wishing to stop being responsible for child support typically is not sufficient reason to terminate because it leaves the child in the position of not being cared for financially. Adoptive parents become natural parents with all the rights and responsibilities that entails the moment the adoption papers are finalized.
No, legally they are both the parents.
A foster home is a household in which a child is given parental care by someone other than its birth parents or adoptive parent. A foster home is basically where kids go that have no parents whatsoever until they are adopted.
It is possible to regain custody after rights have been terminated. However, this includes a very long court battle and is not usually beneficial to the child who has been living with his or her adoptive parents.
If both of your biological parents either agree to allow you to be adopted or have their parental rights terminated by the court. Also the friend would have to meet the standards set down in your area concerning potential adoptive parents.
