Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Adoption Act. Provide that the purpose of notice shall be to enable the person receiving notice to appear in the adoption proceedings to present evidence to the court relevant to whether the consent or surrender of the person to the adoption is required (instead of to present evidence to the court relevant to the best interests of the child). Provides that, if the court determines that the consent or surrender of the person is not required by the Act, then the person shall not be entitled to participate in the proceedings or to receive any further notice of the proceedings. Removes from the exceptions to the requirement for consent and surrender a person who has been indicated for child sexual abuse as defined in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act that involved sexual penetration of the mother and a person who was at least 5 years older than the mother and the mother was under the age of 17 at the time of conception of the child to be adopted.
