Adoption Widerrufserklärung des Kindes beurkunden

If consent has been given to adoption (including stepchild adoption) for or by a child, this consent may be revoked by the child if he or she is 14 years of age or older. A revocation must be publicly notarized.

In principle, the consent of the mother, father and child is required for adoption. It is irrelevant whether it is an adoption by a new family (foreign adoption) or by a stepparent (stepchild adoption).

For children under the age of 14, only the person(s) legally representing (or represents) can give consent. For older children, usually only the child himself can give consent. However, it then requires the consent of the person(s) legally representing it.

As long as the court has not yet ruled on the adoption, a child who is 14 years of age or older may revoke his consent to his adoption. This is also possible if the legal representative has given consent for the child and the child later turned 14, but only if the adoption has not yet been completed. The child can withdraw consent on his own. It does not require permission. Why the child wants to withdraw consent does not matter.

A form is prescribed for the withdrawal of consent. The revocation must be "publicly notarized". This certification can take place in a notary's office or in a youth welfare office. The certification at the Youth Welfare Office is free of charge. Costs are incurred for notarisation in a notary's office.

For the notarization, the identity must be proven so that it is clear that the child is to be adopted and not someone else revokes the consent. A child who is 16 years of age or older can present the identity card. A child who is younger should clarify with the place where the certificate is to be recorded, how he can prove his identity.

The legal representative or the child at least 14 years old has consented to adoption in the prescribed form.

The child is at least 14 years old and legally competent.

For the notarial certification, costs are incurred in accordance with the applicable scale of fees. The exact amount of the costs can be communicated by the notary's office before notarization.

The public certification of the revocation before the notary of a youth welfare office is free of charge.

• It is best if an appointment is made with the body that is to take up the certificate. Before notarization, the person who records the deed informs about the legal consequences of the certification.
• An appointment is required for certification at the Youth Welfare Office.
• The deed is sent to the family court.
• The withdrawal of consent becomes effective as soon as the document has been received by the family court. If the deed is received by the family court before it has made a final decision on the adoption, the adoption can no longer take place.

The necessary legal instructions and questions, which may be asked before notarization, require a time expenditure. The time required is different in each individual case. In addition, there is a possible waiting time on site.

It is advisable to make an appointment for the notarization.

There are no deadlines to be observed.

The revocation of consent must be publicly notarized. This is possible in a notary's office and in a youth welfare office.
