6 yrs ago i gave my rights up to my kids and my parents have adopted my kids and my kids dont want to be there and what to be with me and i need to know if its possable for me to get them back or what age they can leave the home even with the cops and courts involved they r 15 11 8 in the state of florida 

1) Changing custody (http://deltabravo.net/cms/search.php?q=Changing+custody&s=Search&r=0) generally requires a "substantial change in circumstances (http://deltabravo.net/cms/plugins/content/content.php?content.178)".

2) The age that a child becomes legally emancipated (http://deltabravo.net/cms/plugins/content/content.php?content.190) in Florida is 18, however if there are extenuating circumstances then the court may consider them and allow an earlier age for emancipation (http://deltabravo.net/cms/plugins/content/content.php?content.190) to occur. They don't usually like to do this unless there's a really good reason with solid, convincing evidence for allowing it.

So, in short, you may be able to effect a change in custody but it'll be chancy at best and almost certainly expensive (especially if your parents contest it).

Agree with Waylon. Do you have any court ordered visitation. Another way would be to ask for visitation or more visitation if you have some already. Depending on what the adoption papers say about visitation rights, you may ask the family court near the kids to grant you specific days/times to see the kids.

i have no vistion only with my mother she lets me see them how do i find out about the adoption paper work on my kids

start with the county courthouse?  Where ever it was processed and filed.....do you remember that?

First of all, know your rights towards the country and the parents. Because they too have some kind of rights which hey have to follow any how.
