Second Parent Adoption Bill Introduced in Colorado

HB07-1330 SECOND PARENT ADOPTION OF A CHILD OF A SOLE LEGAL PARENT
House Sponsor: Rep. Alice Madden
Senate Sponsor: Jennifer Veiga

EXPLANATION
HB07-1330 allows a child to be adopted by a specified second adult parent upon the written and verified consent of a single parent, if the child has no other legal parent. It also allows the use of the same home study report in cases where the sole legal parent adopted the child within 6 months prior to the second adoption and the second adult parent was involved in that home
study report.

We will be encouraging folks to attend the committee to testify during the hearing on this bill. Contact COLAGE or Stay Tuned to Equal Rights Colorado to learn more.
