After execution, non-judicial consent can be revocable
The Non-Judicial Consent is a legally binding agreement between two parties that modifies a trust without the consent of the court. Although it is similar in structure to a trust amendment agreement, there are some important differences. First, it needs the consent of a settlor. This means that he or she must consent to any changes to the trust's material purpose. The non-judicial consent agreement is applicable to trusts that are revocable upon execution.
Except for fraud, consent to adoption cannot be revoked.
Although there are many reasons why you might want to withdraw your consent, the majority of cases a child cannot be denied this right. Adoptive parents and adoptees must make sure that the child's wishes are honored before the adoption process can proceed. If you are married, you need to obtain the consent of your child before you adopt him/her. In certain cases, a court may require consent if it is against the child's best wishes.

While stepparent adoption is not the norm, it is still a great option for a child who lives with two sets of parents. Many children are born into one parent. However, stepparents can play a crucial role in the child’s lives. These non-biological grandparents may take care of the child's basic needs and act as the biological parents.
