8-118. Petition withdrawal or denial;
custody
In any case in which the petition is withdrawn or denied the court shall order the
removal of the child from the proposed adoptive home if the court finds that such removal
is in the child's best interest. If such removal is ordered, the court shall vest
temporary legal custody in an agency with power to remove the child and to plan for the
child's welfare. The court shall fix responsibility for temporary child support. The
court may make such other orders as it deems necessary to protect and further the best
interests of the child.
