When action to set aside adoption may be brought; presumption of child’s best interest after adoption is granted.
1. The natural parent of a child may not bring an action to set aside an adoption after a petition for adoption has been granted, unless a court of competent jurisdiction has previously, in a separate action:
(a) Set aside the consent to the adoption;
(b) Set aside the relinquishment of the child for adoption; or
(c) Reversed an order terminating the parental rights of the natural parent.
2. After a petition for adoption has been granted, there is a presumption for the purposes of this chapter that remaining in the home of the adopting parent is in the child’s best interest.
