Relating to: a disclaimer of parental rights and payments allowed in connection with an adoption.

SB 79 creates a new formal process for parents to permanently relinquish parental rights in adoption cases through a standardized "affidavit of disclaimer." It directly affects parents (including minors) considering adoption, requiring them to complete a specific affidavit within 120 hours after a child's birth but before the first birthday, with mothers unable to sign before birth. Key provisions include strict revocation windows (72 hours for mothers, up to 120 hours for fathers), mandatory counseling disclosures, and detailed requirements for the affidavit's content, such as confirming the child's status and informing parents of permanent legal consequences. The bill ensures the affidavit becomes irrevocable after specified deadlines unless obtained through fraud or duress, and no legal challenge can be filed more than three months after signing.
