Can a birth mother sue criminal adoptive parents for custody?

If a birth mother at age 16 gives up her child in an open adoption to a family friend, then that family friend becomes a drug dealer and CPS is involved, can the birth mother sue for custody? Do the rights of the birth mother come before the rights of the parents of a criminal mother?
The biological mother has always had a personal relationship with her daughter. They love each other.

The adoptive mother has a charge of endangering a child against her now.

Once the adoption is complete the birth mother has no rights to the child regardless if the adoption is open or not.

    See the Baby M case.
    You may have to prove she is a bad mother or wait for CPS to remove the child.
    I think you may actually have a stronger case.

    The birth mother singed away all rights, The state will take action.
