Bill Summary
To promote efficiency in co-parent adoptions
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote efficiency in co-parent adoptions. It establishes a streamlined process for couples, both married and unmarried, to adopt a child born through assisted reproduction when they are already recognized as the child's legal parents. The bill outlines the required documentation for the adoption petition, and it exempts these petitions from certain standard adoption requirements, such as home studies, criminal record checks, and minimum residency periods. The goal is to simplify the adoption process for families where the child's parentage is already established, allowing them to formally complete the adoption and secure their parental rights.
