If the court finds that the best interest of the child warrants the granting of the petition, an order of adoption must be made and filed, ordering that henceforth the child is the child of the petitioners. When determining whether the best interest of the child warrants the granting of a petition that is filed by a prospective adoptive parent, the court shall give strong consideration to the emotional bond between the child and the prospective adoptive parent. In the order the court may change the name of the child, if desired.
