Petition For Adoption

PETITION FOR ADOPTION UNDER 23 PA.C.S. §2701 Petitioner(s) must comply with Pa. O.C. Rule 15 and Y.C.O.C.R. 15.13. This form is used in the Orphans' Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania, to formally request the court's approval for the adoption of a child. The form provides detailed information about the adoptive parents, including their personal details, relationship to the adoptee, and their desire to adopt the child as their heir. It also includes information about the adoptee, such as their name, date of birth, and background, and states that the child has been residing with the petitioners. The petition confirms that all necessary reports and consents required by law have been filed, or provides explanations if any are not required. It also attaches important exhibits like the child's birth certificate, termination of parental rights documents, and other legal clearances. The petitioners may also request to change the adoptee’s name as part of the adoption process. The adoptee, if over 12 years old, must sign the form to give consent, and this signature must be witnessed. The form is submitted to the court for review, and if approved, the adoption will be finalized, granting the child all rights and responsibilities as the adoptive parents' legal heir. www.FormsWorkflow.com
