SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Parental placement adoption; how consent executed. Eliminates the requirement that the birth parent or parents execute consent to a parental placement adoption before the juvenile and domestic relations district court in person and in the presence of the prospective adoptive parents. Instead, the consent of the birth parents shall be in writing that has been signed and acknowledged before an officer authorized by law to take acknowledgement. The juvenile and domestic relations district court shall accept the consent of the birth parents at a hearing in the presence of the prospective adoptive parents and transfer custody of the child to the prospective adoptive parents, pending notification to any nonconsenting birth parent.
