When action to set aside adoption may be brought; presumption of child’s best interest after adoption is granted.

1. A prior 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 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 parents is in the child’s best interest.
