Paragraph 4

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

If you sign the form of agreement to the agency’s decision and your child is subsequently placed with a person wishing to adopt them, then you will not be entitled to have your child returned to you if you change your mind, unless you obtain the permission of the court or the adoption agency. If you do change your mind you should inform the adoption agency at once.
