The Family Court Surrender Forms page provides forms used when a parent voluntarily surrenders a child in foster care for adoption. It includes both court‑supervised and extra‑judicial surrender documents.
Forms include:
- Notice of Proceeding
- Caseworker affirmation about who must be notified
- Order directing service
- Petition to approve an extra‑judicial surrender
Supporting documents:
- Affirmation by an agency employee who witnessed the surrender
- Affirmation by an independent witness
- Arrangements for supportive counseling
- Confirmation that counseling was provided
The process ends with a court order approving or denying the surrender.
Post‑surrender forms include:
- Petition and order to review whether a condition in a conditional surrender was not met
- Petition and order to review a possible violation of a post‑adoption contact agreement
