§ 102695 Foreign Birth Court Report Adoption

This law says that an adoption report from a state court can be used as a legal order to register a birth later, but only if the child was born outside the U.S., its territories, or Canada and the report says when and where the child was born.

Key Takeaways

  • •The adoption report must come from a court of record in this state.
  • •It only works for births that happened outside the U.S., its territories, or Canada.
  • •The report must include the child's birth date and birth place.

Example

A baby born in Mexico is adopted by a family in this state. The adoption court sends a report that says the baby was born on June 1, 2020, in Mexico.

Because the report comes from a state court, mentions the birth date and place, and the birth happened outside the U.S., the report can be used as the official order to register the baby's birth after the adoption.
