Such surrenders, releases or consents, when properly acknowledged before a person authorized to take acknowledgments of proofs in the State of New Jersey, shall be valid and binding irrespective of the age of the person giving the same, and shall be irrevocable except at the discretion of the Bureau of Childrens Services or upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
