R986-500-506. Safeguarding Records

Latest version.

Records pertaining to the adoption will not be kept or imaged by the Department. This includes verification of relinquishment and anything that would identify any agency, organization, or individual assisting with the adoption.

The Department must, however, review required legal documentation verifying that the client has relinquished custody for the purposes of adoption. The legal documentation consists of either a court document or statement from the adoption agency.

The client's file will contain a Verification of Relinquishment form signed by the Department employee who viewed and verified the legal documentation.
