(C) REVOCATION BY CHILD.
A CHILD MAY REVOKE CONSENT TO AN ADOPTION UNDER THIS PART IV OF THIS
SUBTITLE AT ANY TIME BEFORE A JUVENILE COURT ENTERS AN ORDER OF
ADOPTION UNDER THIS PART IV OF THIS SUBTITLE.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section is new and added
to ensure that consent is given knowingly, by ensuring that the individual
consenting understands the consent being given. As to interpreters in
connection with on-the-record consent, see Md. Rule 16-819.
Subsection (a)(3) and (4) of this section is new and added for completeness.
Subsection (a)(5) of this section is derived from former FL § 5-314(a).
Subsection (b) of this section is substituted for former FL § 5-311(c), as it
related to a guardian, to expand the revocation period.
Subsection (c) of this section is derived from former FL § 5-311(c)(2).
Former FL § 5-311(c)(3), which otherwise barred revocation, is omitted as
surplusage.
