Part of her job is facilitating the legal aspects surrounding the adoption. The process begins once the adoption worker has completed the home study and the family is approved for adoption when a final review of the adoption packet is done and sent to Patrice. The information in the adoption packet consists of a home study, copy of the child\u2019s birth certificate, the order terminating the parental rights, and consents to the adoption.\u00a0 This information is reviewed and used to draft a Petition for Adoption.<\/p>\n<p>Patrice then calls the adoptive family to set up a time to meet with them so that they can review the petition for accuracy and sign it.\u00a0 She answers any questions they may have, briefs them on what to expect, and sometimes she has an opportunity to meet the child who is being adopted.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Patrice files all the paperwork and calls the judge\u2019s judicial assistant to get a hearing date.\u00a0 Once the hearing date is confirmed, she sends out a notice of the hearing to all the interested parties. At the adoption hearing, Patrice facilities questions with the adoptive parents, under oath, regarding why they want to adopt, whether they understand the impact of adoption, and what they are requesting from the court. This is simply to ensure that all parties are informed and aware of what is occurring during this exciting time and to document their commitment to the court.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Patrice provides the final judgment of adoption for the judge to sign.\u00a0 She then distributes the copies of the judgment and takes the necessary paperwork to the clerk\u2019s office so that they can request a new birth certificate. Once the birth certificate is received, Patrice mails it to the adoptive family.\u00a0 It will have the child\u2019s new name, the adoptive parents names listed, and a new family is complete!<br \/>\n[hr]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kristin Pirozzi<\/strong> is Brevard C.A.R.E.S.&#8217; Post Adoption Care Coordinator.
