REVOCATION OF ENTRUSTMENT AGREEMENT (§ 63.2-1223)

A valid entrustment agreement terminating all parental rights and
responsibilities to the child shall be revocable by either of the birth parents
until (i) the child has reached the age of 10 days and (ii) seven days have
elapsed from the date of execution of the agreement. In addition, a valid
entrustment agreement shall be revocable by either of the birth parents if the
child has not been placed in the physical custody of the prospective adoptive
parents at the time of such revocation. Revocation of an entrustment agreement
shall be in writing and signed by the revoking party. The written revocation
shall be delivered to the child-placing agency or local board to which the child
was originally entrusted. Delivery of the written revocation shall be made
during the business day of the child-placing agency or local board to which the
child was originally entrusted, in accordance with the applicable time period
set out in this section. If the revocation period expires on a Saturday, Sunday,
legal holiday or any day on which the agency or local board is officially
closed, the revocation period shall be extended to the next day that is not a
Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other day on which the agency or local board
is officially closed. Upon revocation of the entrustment agreement, the child
shall be returned to the parent revoking the agreement.
