Affirm Parentage Adoption In Assisted Reproduction

Type Bill
Session 2022 Regular Session
Subjects
Children & Domestic Matters

Concerning affirming parentage by adoption for a person who did not give birth when the child is conceived as a result of assisted reproduction.

Bill Summary:

Whenever a child is conceived or born as a result of an assisted reproduction procedure (procedure) and the person who did not give birth is a parent or a presumed parent, the act allows the parents to complete an adoption of the child to affirm parentage. In such an instance, both parents must join the adoption petition as petitioners.

The act details what must be included on a form for adoption or a voluntary acknowledgment of parentage to acknowledge parentage of the child, as well as jurisdictional requirements and options. The act clarifies the requirements for parentage when a child is conceived through a procedure, including that the donor of gametes used in the procedure is not considered a parent, unless the gamete donor is a spouse or civil union partner of the person who gives birth to the child.
