determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, within the first 180 
days of such placement, to the effect that the continued voluntary 
placement is in the best interests of the child.
    (c) The State agency must establish and maintain a uniform procedure 
or system, consistent with State law, for revocation by the parent(s) of 
a voluntary placement agreement and return of the child.
