In granting a petition for re-establishment of the legal parent and child relationship, the court shall enter its finding in a written order providing that from the date of the order of re-establishment of parental rights, the child is the child of the genetic parent whose rights were terminated and must be accorded all the same rights as existed before the order terminating parental rights, including inheritance rights. The order must include that all legal rights, powers, privileges, immunities, duties, and obligations to each other as genetic parent and child are re-established. 2. As of the effective date of a court order providing for the re-establishment of the legal parent and child relationship: a. The child is the legal child of the genetic parent; b. The genetic parent whose rights were terminated under a previous order of the court is restored to the status of legal parent of the child and all rights, powers, privileges, immunities, duties, and obligations that were severed and terminated by the court under section 27-20.3-20 are restored; c. The order placing the child under the care, custody, and control of the human service zone or division of juvenile services is terminated; and d. Permanent legal and physical custody of the child is awarded to the genetic parent. 3. An order re-establishing the legal parent and child relationship as to one genetic parent of the child has no effect on: a. The legal rights of any other genetic parent whose rights to the child have been terminated by the court; or b. The legal sibling relationship between the child and any other children of the genetic parent.
