[ 2 ] A placement until the age of majority was rendered by Judge Renée Lemoine, J.C.Q., on April 4, 2008.

[ 6 ] FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT: [ 7 ] GRANTS the petition; [ 8 ] DECLARES X, born on [...], 2004, judicially eligible for adoption; [ 9 ] APPOINTS B and C to exercise parental authority over the child. __________________________________ LUCILLE CHABOT, J.Q.C.
