Establishment of parent and child relationship; persons who committed sexual assault.

Added a new category of 'presumed father' for men married to the birth mother, requiring their consent to adoption unless they deny paternity under oath.

Established that birth parents under the age of 18 are deemed fully competent and legally bound by adoption and entrustment agreements.

Added new sections detailing specific procedures for entrustment agreements and adoption consents, including timelines and notice requirements.

Expanded the bill's scope to include additional Code sections related to adoption and parentage, broadening the legislative impact.

Added new definitions and procedures for establishing parent-child relationships, including specific genetic testing standards and voluntary acknowledgments.

All sections regarding adoption consent, entrustment agreements, and the Virginia Birth Father Registry were deleted.

The bill now only amends two specific sections (16.1-241 and 20-124.1) instead of the seven sections previously listed.

Provisions allowing fathers convicted of sexual assault to bypass adoption consent and entrustment requirements were removed.

The definition of 'person with a legitimate interest' in § 20-124.1 was updated to exclude individuals convicted of sexual assault from having standing in custody cases.
