In the case where the parents’ rights have been judicially terminated, this evidence shall be a certified copy of the order terminating their rights and appointing the guardian. In other cases of
a guardian appointed by a court, this evidence shall be a certified
copy of the order appointing it guardian. In the case of a guardian

an instrument other than a court order, valid under the laws of another state, that instrument shall serve as evidence of the authority to consent or file its recommendation.
