The Pennsylvania Petition to Confirm Consent to Adoption is a legal document used to obtain a court order for the adoption of a child in the state of Pennsylvania. This document is filed in the appropriate court of common pleas in the county where the adoptive parents reside, or, if the adoptive parents reside in different counties, in the county in which the adoption proceeding is taking place. There are two types of Pennsylvania Petition to Confirm Consent to Adoption: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary petitions are initiated by the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the child giving consent to the adoption. Involuntary petitions are initiated by the adoption agency or the adoptive parents when a parent or guardian refuses to give consent to the adoption. The petition contains information about the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the child, the adoptive parents, the child, and the adoption. It must also include a certified copy of the child's birth certificate, proof of the parent(s) or guardian(s) identity, and the consent of the parent(s) or guardian(s) to the adoption. Once the petition is filed, the court will issue an order confirming the consent and granting the adoption.
