(1) in a record, signed before, on, or after the birth of the child by each intended parent; or

(2) in an oral agreement entered into before conception by each intended parent.

(b) In the absence of evidence pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, a court may adjudicate a person as the parent of a child if it finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the person resided with the child after birth and undertook to develop a parental relationship with the child.
