(b)a natural parent of such a child;

(d)a child of such an adoptive parent (whether or not adopted).
(2) But section 9 ceases to apply–
(a)at the end of the period of three years from the date of the adoption order or when the adoptive child attains the age of 18, whichever is sooner; or
(b)at any point before the end of the period of three years from the date of the adoption order or when such a child attains the age of 18, if sooner, if the following agree–
(i)the person in paragraph (1);
(ii)the local authority in whose area that person is resident; and
(iii)the local authority which made the assessment of the needs of that person for adoption support services.
