The Act allows the child's birth parents or guardian to withdraw their consent to the child's adoptive placement at any time up to the point where the prospective adopter applies for an adoption order. Where consent given under section 19 or 20 of the Act is withdrawn in accordance with section 52(8) of the Act, AAR 38 applies.
