Repeal Intermediary Report Requirement From Adoption Process

R House District 8
Memo
In the near future I will introduce legislation that proposes to repeal the requirement of an Intermediary Report from the adoption process. This legislation is being reintroduced from last session (former HB 727) and is part of a package of legislation that is being reintroduced to reform the adoption process in Pennsylvania.
An intermediary is defined in Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pa. C.S. as any person or persons or agency acting between a birth parent or parents and the proposed adoptive parent or parents in arranging an adoption placement. Section 2533 of Title 23 requires an intermediary to file a written report with the court in which the petition for adoption will be filed within six months after the report of intention to adopt is filed. The report of the intermediary contains vital statistics about the birth parents and the child, financial information pertinent to the intermediary, and medical history information.
The information collected and supplied in the report of the intermediary could easily be provided during the petition for adoption. In fact, much of the same information is again required to be included in the petition for adoption. The objective of my legislation is to eliminate redundancy and streamline the adoption process, thereby making it easier and less costly to adopt children who are awaiting families and homes.
Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation.
