A bill for an act requiring postadoption interviews of adoptive parents and adopted persons by the department of health and human services, and including applicability provisions.

HF 2219 requires Iowa's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct interviews with adoptive parents and adopted children 18-36 months after an adoption is finalized. The interviews must include separate face-to-face meetings (one with the parent and one with the child alone) and assess the child’s living conditions to ensure well-being. This applies only to adoptions with final court decrees issued on or after the bill’s effective date. The law mandates these checks to monitor the child’s adjustment in their new home environment.
