==== If the mother or father change their mind ====
A person who consented to their child's adoption may revoke their consent (cancel it) before the child is placed for adoption.
As well, the birth mother may revoke her consent to the adoption within 30 days of the child’s birth — even if the child has already been placed for adoption.
A child who has consented to their adoption has until the adoption order is granted to revoke their consent.
The revocation must be in writing and delivered to the adoption agency or the BC director of adoptions.
