You can try. But it seems extremely difficult. The children will have adjusted to their new status, and a court would likely feel that undoing the prior termination will be unfair to them most of all. The Court will also likely tell you that a termination of parental rights is intended to be a final disposition, not one that can be reopened based on subsequent changes.
