Domestic Adoption
(1) Representation of Covered Person as adopting step-parent in an uncontested adoption; (2) representation of Covered Person as adopting family member with parental consent in uncontested adoptions of family members; and (3) representation of Covered Person as adopting parent or step-parent in an uncontested adoption previously recommended by a licensed child placement agency. These services include change of name of adopted child. This does not include Parental Placement or other private adoptions where the Court functions as agency representative. An uncontested adoption is defined as an adoption in which all necessary parties affirmatively consent to, or affirmatively waive their rights to oppose the adoption by signing a consent form. Necessary parties who cannot be located and must be provided with notice of the adoption should not be deemed to have consented to the adoption.
