A child&#8217;s parent, stepparent, adult sibling or any adult related to the

standby guardian at any time following such approval and prior to any
termination of the standby guardianship for review of whether continuation of
the standby guardianship is in the best interests of the child. Notice of the
filing of a petition shall promptly be given to the standby guardian, the child,
if the child is twelve or more years of age, and each parent of the child whose
identity and whereabouts are known or could reasonably be ascertained.
