| 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.
