A child's parent, stepparent, functional parent, adult sibling or any adult related to the child by blood or marriage may petition the circuit court that approved the standby guardian at any time following such approval for review of whether continuation of the standby guardianship is in the best interest of the child. Notice of the filing of a petition for review shall promptly be given to the standby guardian, the child if the child is fourteen or more years of age, and each parent of the child whose identity and whereabouts are known or could reasonably be ascertained.
