The report of the agency which provides child welfare services must not be made a matter of public record, but must be given in writing and in confidence to the district judge before whom the matter is pending. If the recommendation of the agency which provides child welfare services is adverse, the district judge, before denying the petition, shall give the petitioner an opportunity to rebut the findings and recommendation of the report of the agency which provides child welfare services.
