(a) Should the Court find the termination of existing parental rights and their transfer to be in the best interest of the child, it shall make an order terminating such rights in the parent or parents, person or persons or organization in which they have existed and transferring them to some other person or persons or the Department or a licensed agency as may, in the opinion of the Court, be best qualified to receive them.

(b) In the case of proceedings based on § 1103(a)(1) of this title in which all individuals entitled to consent have waived notice of hearing and the right to appear at such hearing in accordance with § 1106(d) of this title, the Court shall issue its decision and order within 30 days after the filing of the petition and social report. In all other cases, the Court shall issue its decision and order within 30 days following the conclusion of the proceedings.

(c) If a child is abandoned by 1 parent only, the rights of such parent may be terminated without affecting the rights of the other.
