Relates to foreign adoptions

This bill removes the 18-year age limit for adopting foreign-born individuals in New York, allowing adults (over 18) to be adopted through foreign adoptions. It requires adoptive parents or adoptees to provide proof of New York residency, certified foreign adoption documents with translation, birth evidence, and immigrant visa status (IR-3, IR-4, or IH-3) to obtain a New York birth certificate. The birth certificate will include standard details like name, birthdate, and parents' names, replacing foreign records. This directly affects foreign-born adults seeking to establish legal identity in New York through adoption.
