Wisconsin's Consent to
Adoption Law

A birth mother may sign a consent any time after the birth of the child, however she must affirm her consent to the adoption before a judge. This hearing usually occurs 14-30 days after the birth. The court will then officially terminate her parental rights.

Pre-consents are not allowed in the state of Wisconsin.

Revocation Time Frame in Wisconsin

The consent is irrevocable once the birth mother appears in court (14-30 days after birth). So, there is a revocation period until she goes to court.
