8815
. (a) Once the revocable consent to adoption has become
permanent as provided in Section 8814.5, the consent to the adoption
by the prospective adoptive parents may not be withdrawn.
(b) Before the time when the revocable consent becomes permanent
as provided in Section 8814.5, the birth parent or parents may
request return of the child. In that case the child shall immediately
be returned to the requesting birth parent or parents, unless a
court orders otherwise.
(c) If the person or persons with whom the child has been placed
have concerns that the birth parent or parents requesting return of
the child are unfit or present a danger of harm to the child, that
person or those persons may report their concerns to the appropriate
child welfare agency. These concerns shall not be a basis for failure
to immediately return the child, unless a court orders otherwise.
