Valid Adoption not to be Cancelled (Section 15)
No adoption which had been validly made can be cancelled by the adoptive father or mother or any other person, nor can the adopted child renounce his or her status as such and return to the family of his or her birth.
Under section 16 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956: Whenever any document registered under any law for the time being in force is produced before any court purporting to record an adoption made and is signed by the person giving and the person taking the child in adoption, the court shall presume that the adoption has been made in compliance with the provisions of this Act unless and until it is disproved.
Therefore you cannot renounce adoption if it was done by a legally valid method.
