1. (1) When a parent or Indian custodian voluntarily consents to a foster care, pre-adoptive, or adoptive placement or to terminate parental rights, the consent is not valid unless executed in writing and recorded before a judge of a court of competent jurisdiction and accompanied by the judge's certificate that the terms and consequences of the consent were fully explained in detail and fully understood by the parent or Indian custodian. The court shall also certify that either the parent or Indian custodian fully understood the explanation in English or that it was interpreted into a language that the parent or Indian custodian understood. Any consent given prior to, or within ten days after, birth of the Indian child is not valid.
2. (2) A parent or Indian custodian may withdraw consent to a foster care placement pursuant to state law at any time, and, upon such withdrawal, the Indian child must be returned to the parent or Indian custodian.
3. (3) In a voluntary proceeding for termination of parental rights to, or adoptive placement of, an Indian child, the consent of the Indian child's parent may be withdrawn for any reason at any time prior to the entry of a final decree of termination of parental rights or adoption, as the case may be, and the Indian child must be returned to the Indian child's parent.
