Motion And Affidavit To Open Adoption File By Adoptive Parent Or Custodial Grandparent {JDF 341}

JDF 341 - MOTION AND AFFIDAVIT TO OPEN ADOPTION FILE BY ADOPTIVE PARENT OR CUSTODIAL GRANDPARENT. This form is used in Colorado when an adoptive parent or a grandparent who has custody of an adopted child seeks access to the child’s sealed adoption records. This form allows the petitioner to request that the court authorize a confidential intermediary to review the adoption file in an effort to locate and possibly establish contact with the birth parents of the adopted child or grandchild. In the form, the petitioner provides personal information including their name, date of birth, address, and contact details, along with specific information about the adoption—such as the adoptee’s date of birth, date and county of adoption, and any known information about the birth parents. The petitioner must explain the reasons for the request, such as medical history, identity questions, or other personal circumstances. The form also requires the petitioner to state whether the adopted individual is over the age of 18, whether they currently live with the petitioner, and whether the adoptee is aware of the petition. By signing this affidavit under penalty of perjury, the petitioner is asking the court to unseal records so that a confidential intermediary can begin a lawful and protected search, maintaining privacy while offering the potential for family reconnection or access to important background information. www.FormsWorkflow.com
