(b)

The court shall, if a child has been or was about to be placed in a prospective adoptive home in violation of the provisions of this chapter:

(1)

Prohibit the placement if the child was about to be so placed, or order the removal of the child if the child was so placed within 6 months before the filing of the petition by the agency which provides child welfare services and proceed pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 2 of NRS 127.2815; or

Upon completion of the investigation, if the home is found suitable for the child, the prospective adoptive parents must be allowed 6 months from the date of completion of the investigation to file a petition for adoption.
