Revocation Time Frame in New York
BMs in NY usually sign the AFs state consent so the revocation time frame is dependent upon the state's consent she is signing. The consent is irrevocable upon signing if it is signed before a judge. If it is not signed before a judge, the consent may be revoked within 30 days if using an adoption agency, or within 45 days if it is a private adoption.
