Bill overview
This bill authorizes voluntary post-adoption contact agreements between adoptive parents and the child’s biological or other relatives. It allows for written agreements outlining visitation, contact, or information exchange. If the court approves the agreement, it will enter a separate consent order to enforce it, ensuring the best interests of the child are prioritized. This legislation aims to provide a more flexible approach to post-adoption relationships compared to existing law.
