Adoption Consent Form

COLORADO ADOPTION CONSENT PREPARATION PACKET

NOT A CONSENT — DO NOT SIGN OR FILE AS-IS

Use this packet to classify the proposed adoption, identify every person and agency with a possible role, collect records, assess voluntariness and protections, research the correct current forms, and prepare counsel's transfer to an executable consent or court filing. Completing this packet does not relinquish or terminate any right.

1. MATTER CONTROL

2. ADOPTION AND PROCEEDING CLASSIFICATION

3. CURRENT-LAW AND FORM REGISTER

Counsel must complete this register from current official Colorado sources and current court or agency materials before preparing any executable document.

An older consent, commercial form, notary block, or generic revocation placeholder is only a research lead.

4. CHILD INFORMATION

Use only the personal information required for the authorized process. Protect sealed, confidential, medical, and identifying records.

5. PROPOSED CONSENTING PERSON

Do not label a person a birth parent, legal parent, putative parent, presumed parent, guardian, custodian, or required signer until current authority and records support that status.

6. OTHER PARENTAGE AND NOTICE REVIEW

Record diligent-search work and confidential identifiers in the appropriate protected file, not in a public-facing packet.

7. VOLUNTARINESS AND PROTECTION INTERVIEW

The proposed consenting person should answer in their own words, outside the presence of anyone whose interests may differ.

If voluntariness, capacity, comprehension, safety, or independence is uncertain, pause the process and obtain the appropriate legal or professional review.

8. COUNSELING, DISCLOSURE, AND ADVICE RECORD

Do not describe counseling, waiver, or disclosure as mandatory or optional until the current route has been verified.

9. EXPENSE AND BENEFIT REGISTER

No payment or benefit should be described as consideration for a consent.

10. CONTACT, INFORMATION, AND RELATIONSHIP PLANNING

Do not imply that a contact preference is enforceable, nonmodifiable, confidential, or part of the consent unless current authority and the approved document establish that result.

11. TIMING AND SEQUENCE MAP

Calendar every date independently. A private agreement or placeholder does not create or extend a legal deadline.

12. EXECUTION AND FORM PLAN

Do not use the generic commercial signature and acknowledgment blocks from the old document.

13. REVOCATION, WITHDRAWAL, AND CHALLENGE REVIEW

Do not label a consent irrevocable, final, binding, rescindable, or subject to a fixed window until counsel verifies the exact stage and route.

14. OFFICIAL-FORM TRANSFER

Counsel-approved executable or fileable document filename and revision: [________________________________]

Approved by Colorado adoption counsel: [________________________________]

Approval date: [__/__/____]

15. FINAL REVIEW

☐ Adoption type, court or agency, jurisdiction, interstate, tribal, international, and immigration routes verified.

☐ Child identity, residence, legal status, custody, siblings, needs, and confidential records reviewed.

☐ Every possible parent, custodian, guardian, agency, and required notice recipient identified through the verified process.

☐ Proposed consenting person's identity, legal status, capacity, voluntariness, independence, safety, communication, and representation reviewed.

☐ Counseling, disclosures, advice, expenses, benefits, contact planning, and records treatment comply with the verified route.

☐ Timing, revocation, withdrawal, challenge, approval, placement, petition, service, hearing, and decree steps are separately calendared.

☐ Current official form and execution instructions control witnesses, oath, acknowledgment, signatures, attachments, filing, and copies.

☐ No default, specific performance, prevailing-party fee, jury waiver, arbitration, reformation, consideration, or electronic-original clause remains.

☐ The outgoing document is the counsel-approved current form or filing, not this packet.
