14         On page 78, lines 16-19, delete those lines
15  
16  and insert:  
17         (e)  When a petition for a declaratory statement as to
18  the adoption contract is filed prior to the commencement of
19  proceedings to terminate parental rights, it must be filed in
20  accordance with the venue requirements for the filing of the
21  petition terminating parental rights under s. 63.087. Pursuant
22  to s. 63.087, a previously filed petition for a declaratory
23  statement filed under this section must be consolidated with a
24  related subsequently filed petition for termination of
25  parental rights. If the petition for declaratory statement is
26  filed after the judgment terminating parental rights has been
27  entered, the action for declaratory statement must be
28  consolidated with any related petition for adoption. Only one
29  filing fee may be assessed for both the adoption and
30  declaratory statement petitions.
