Consent Release Or Refusal To Contact {JDF 346}

JDF 346 - CONSENT RELEASE OR REFUSAL TO CONTACT. This form is used in Colorado adoption cases, typically filed in District Court or Denver Juvenile Court, to officially document whether a party involved in an adoption—such as a biological parent, adoptee, or other relative—consents to or refuses contact with another party. This form is presented during the confidential intermediary process, which facilitates contact between individuals separated by adoption, while still protecting privacy rights. By signing the Consent to Contact section, the individual voluntarily agrees to communication with a specified person (e.g., a birth parent, adoptee, or sibling), and may choose the preferred method of contact, such as through correspondence, a phone call, or a personal meeting. The signer releases all involved parties—including the court, intermediary, training organization, and agencies—from liability related to the contact. Conversely, if the individual completes the Refusal to Contact section, they are formally denying contact and request that their records remain sealed to preserve their privacy and anonymity. In doing so, they acknowledge receipt of information about the Colorado Voluntary Adoption Registry, which they may use in the future should they change their mind. A court clerk then certifies receipt of the signed document to make the decision official and part of the legal record. www.FormsWorkflow.com
