Description
On December 12, 1995, J.W.S., Jr., and D.M.S. 1 sued for custody of D.C.C., born on December 10, 1995, for the purpose of adopting the infant. On the same day, the child's unmarried natural parents, C.C.W. and C.T.C., consented to the transfer of custody and adoption. The parents later changed their mind and sought to revoke their consent. The circuit court denied their request to withdraw their consent, and they appealed. They assert that they were under emotional duress when they agreed to the adoption. We affirm. The consent signed by the parents said, ""I hereby consent to the transfer of custody of this child to [the respondents] and to the subsequent adoption of this child by [the respondents]."" It also said, ""I understand that a decree of adoption granted to [the respondents] will terminate any parental rights that I now have as the natural [parent] of this child.""
