Types of Illinois Acknowledgment and Agreement by Parent of Termination or Relinquish of Parental Rights — Release of Parental Rights: 1. Voluntary Termination of Parental Rights: This type of agreement is used when a parent willingly decides to terminate their parental rights. It is often done when the parent believes that it is in the best interest of the child or if they are unable to properly care for the child. 2. Relinquishment of Parental Rights: This agreement is used when a parent voluntarily gives up their parental rights. Unlike termination, relinquishment does not usually involve the intervention of the court and may occur for various reasons, such as the parent unable to meet the child's needs or finding a more suitable guardian. 3. Consent to Adoption: Another type of Illinois Acknowledgment and Agreement is the Consent to Adoption. In this agreement, the biological parent(s) consent to the adoption of their child by another person or couple.

It's important to note that these agreements are legally binding documents that should be prepared with the assistance of an attorney or legal professional to ensure compliance with Illinois laws and to protect the best interests of the child involved.
