The Pennsylvania Final Decree to Voluntarily Relinquish Parental Rights to Agency is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Pennsylvania. This document is the result of a parent voluntarily relinquishing their parental rights to an agency, such as a child welfare agency. The document outlines the rights and responsibilities of the agency, and it is legally binding. There are two types of Pennsylvania Final Decree to Voluntarily Relinquish Parental Rights to Agency: temporary relinquishment and permanent relinquishment. With a temporary relinquishment, the parent agrees to give up their parental rights for a set period of time. The agency then becomes the legal guardian of the child for that period of time. With a permanent relinquishment, the parent agrees to permanently give up their parental rights and the agency then becomes the legal guardian of the child. In either case, the Pennsylvania Final Decree to Voluntarily Relinquish Parental Rights to Agency outlines the rights of the agency, the rights of the parent, and the responsibilities of the agency. It is a legally binding agreement between the parent and the agency and must be abided by in order for the relinquishment to be valid.
