                                Consent by a person who intends to be a parent of a child born through assisted reproduction must be set forth in a signed record that is executed by each intended parent and provides that the signatories consent to use of assisted reproduction to conceive a child with the intent to parent the child.

                                Failure of a person to sign a consent required by subsection 1 before or after birth of the child does not preclude a finding of parentage:
                                     
                                
                
                  A.
                                        If consent can be proved by other means and the consenting individual resided with the child after birth and undertook to develop a parental relationship with the child; or

                  3. 
                                Consent form. 
                                Consent under subsection 1 executed via a consent form adopted by the Office of Data, Research and Vital Statistics must be accepted and relied upon for purposes of issuing a birth record.  Nothing in this subsection precludes a person from filing a voluntary acknowledgment of parentage under subchapter 3.
