Can the birth parent(s) come back at a later date and take their child back?
No – not once the birth parent(s)’ rights are terminated in court. They do have a 21-day appeal period after such termination, but in order for a reversal, they would have to prove to the judge that their consent was not voluntary. In the hundreds of adoptions performed by Christopher Swartz, this has never happened.
