Removing Parent Domain Keeping Child Domain

We have a AD Domain that has a parent and one child domain. This was someone else's design not mine. Anyway we are going to migrate this domain(s) from physical to virtual using VMware. I would like not to bring the parent domain with this migration. I do not need to maintain two servers that do nothing for me, even if they are VM's.

So the question is. Can I just DC Promo out the two DC's and will it leave the child domain intact?

These are Windows 2003 R2 servers going to 2012 R2.

Thanks,

Jerry
