SECTION 749.3523. What specific information must I obtain from birth parents that voluntarily relinquish their parental rights?


Latest version.
  • A parent who signs an affidavit of voluntary relinquishment of parental rights regarding a biological child must also prepare a medical history report form that we issue as required by §161.1031 of the Texas Family Code. If the child is:

    (2) Placed for private adoption through a licensed child-placing agency, that agency must maintain the form.
