This is a very interesting case.

My wife was adopted in the Philippines by her Aunt, a US citizen, thinking that she will be petitioned and moved to the US, but it did not happen, the US government did not recognize/approved the adoption for the reason that the adoption process was not followed, etc.. The adoption took place in the Philippines, processed, new birth certificate was given, in short, all the papers are "new" and legal in the Philippines.

Time past and my wife became a nurse, got a work here in the US(LPR) and soon to be a citizen. All the papers submitted to the embassy was the adoption papers like birth certificate and she used her aunt as her mother in all the papers she signed here( SSN, Insurance Etc.).

Now, she is planning to petition her biological mother, is it possible? is there any other way she can petition her biological mother? She wanted her mother to stay here permanently.

Thanks and God Bless.

Very sure. An adopted child does not automatically lose the ability to sponsor his/her biological parents.
