Consent Of Parent To An Independent Adoption Without Termination Of Parental Rights {DR-102}

CC-DR-102 - CONSENT OF PARENT TO AN INDEPENDENT ADOPTION WITHOUT TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS (FORM 9-102.4). This form is used in the state of Maryland when a biological or legal parent agrees to an independent adoption—such as a step-parent adoption—without giving up their parental rights. It applies only to cases where the adoption is not arranged through an agency, and the consenting parent is not relinquishing custody or legal responsibilities for the child. This form provides a structured way for the parent to affirm that they understand the legal implications of the adoption, including their continued rights and obligations. It outlines the parent’s right to have the document translated, to consult with an attorney, and to receive adoption counseling before signing. It also explains that the parent can revoke their consent within 30 days of signing, and discusses rights related to adoption records, tribal affiliation under the Indian Child Welfare Act, and adoption search or reunion services in the future. www.FormsWorkflow.com
