A Connecticut Adoption Agreement is a legal document used to finalize an adoption in the state of Connecticut. It is an agreement between the adoptive parents and the birth parents that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each party. The agreement usually includes provisions regarding the transfer of parental rights, the adoption process, the child's medical records, financial obligations, and the rights of the adoptive parents and birth parents to contact each other. There are three types of Connecticut Adoption Agreements: the Voluntary Relinquishment Agreement, the Consent to Adoption Agreement, and the Private Adoption Agreement. The Voluntary Relinquishment Agreement is used when the birth mother agrees to voluntarily terminate her parental rights. The Consent to Adoption Agreement is used when the birth mother agrees to terminate her parental rights, but with the understanding that she may have contact with the child in the future. The Private Adoption Agreement is used when the birth mother and adoptive parents agree to an adoption without court involvement.
