Michigan Adoption Legislation

Senate Bill 727 (Limit release of certain adopted individual’s parent information ) Introduced by Sen. Patricia Birkholz (R) on August 5, 2009. Passed in the Senate (36 to 0) on March 4, 2010, to prohibit the release of the parent’s identity to the adult offspring of a parent who surrendered her parent rights under the “<a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/1999-2000/billanalysis/House/htm/1999-HLA-5543-B.htm">safe delivery of newborns</a>” law passed in 2000 (which provided legal protections to a mother who surrendered a newborn to an emergency service provider), unless the parent has filed a statement with the state consenting to the release.
