Introduced in the House

Jan. 22, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Lesia Liss (D-28)

To allow a former parent of an adopted individual to submit to the central state adoption registry a contact preference form. The form would specify whether the individual would or would not like to be contacted by the grown child (directly or through an intermediary), and whether he or she does or does not want their identity to be made known to the grown child. The form would allow for an updated medical history to be filed that could be released to the grown child regardless of the other options selected..

Referred to the Committee on Families and Childrens Services
