Adoption: internet website.

Existing law authorizes a county to perform home-finding and placement functions, investigate, examine, and make reports upon petitions for adoption filed in the superior court, act as a placement agency in the placement of children for adoption, accept relinquishments for adoption, and perform any other functions in connection with adoption that the department deems necessary, or to do any of them. Under existing law, the State Department of Social Services may provide state adoption services in a county that has not established a county adoption agency. This bill would, no later than June 30, 2025, require the department to create, operate, maintain, and update, as needed, the internet website www.adoption.ca.gov, as specified.
