my older sister was duped! She let her now ex-husbands parents adopt her child who was maybe three at the time now she will be seven in febuary. These people told her she (the child) will get insurance and inheirence money when they die also she could see her at any time any place. Well as noted earlier my sister and her husband got a divorce about four months ago he filed for divorce everything changed apparently they began only letting her see her daughter only if she came to see them or her ex husband their son the childs father was there. he came to my familys thanksgiving because the daughter coundn't go if he could not attend. My sister decided to file for custody and she was told to go to family court then she was told probate. She won't get her for Christmas now and we feel there is no hope for the of the family my sister was never able to visit me or called anyone while married to this monster my sister never has done any kind of drug or smoke a cigarette let alone drink she was told by his parents she was unfit I forgot to mention she was under duress and seeking a theripist when signed over

No. If the relatives legally adopted the child there is nothing your daughter can do.
If your state has open adoptions that are legally enforceble then MAYBE she could try to do something but I'm not even sure if there are any states that legally enforce open adoptions.

Sadly, once an adoption is final it is basically the aparents call unless you are in a leagally enforcable open adoption. The way this sounds it does not appear to be the case, just promises made. Most people in relative adoptions don't really think they need to spell these things out, but things do happen like divorce in your case that can change things.
Apparently, your sister's now EX must be feeding his parents some mistruths and they are probably thinking they are protecting your neice while sticking by their son.

Your sister needs to see a lawyer. Was it an actual adoption or permanent custody? Did the child's father also sign adoption papers? Will the therapist she was seeing back then testify that she was "under duress" or "unable to make rational decisions due to medication"?
Is your sister part American Indian?
There are always loopholes, but it takes a good lawyer to find them and sometimes a lot of money to explore them.
