                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REVOCATION OF INTERLOCUTORY ORDER (§ 63.2-1211)

The circuit court may, by order entered of record, revoke its interlocutory
order of adoption at any time prior to the entry of the final order, for good
cause shown, on its own motion, or on the motion of the birth parents of the
child, or of the petitioner, or of the child himself by his next friend, or of
the child-placing agency, which placed the child with the petitioners or of the
Commissioner; but, no such order of revocation shall be entered, except on
motion of the petitioner, unless the petitioner is given ten days&#8217; notice
of such motion in writing and an opportunity to be heard or has removed from the
Commonwealth. The clerk of the circuit court shall forward an attested copy of
every such order to the Commissioner and to the child-placing agency that placed
the child.
		When an interlocutory order has been entered and subsequently is revoked, the
circuit court may proceed in the same manner as set forth in § 63.2-1209 to
enter an order concerning the subsequent custody or guardianship of the child.
