IMDMA-ADOPTION

Amends the Adoption Act. Defines "adult", when referring to a person who is the subject of a petition for adoption under provisions relating to who may be adopted, as a person who is 18 years old or older. Provides that after either the entry of an order terminating parental rights or the entry of a judgment of adoption, the parents (rather than the natural parents) of a child or adult (rather than only a child) sought to be adopted shall be relieved of all parental responsibility for the child or adult and shall be deprived of all legal rights as respects the child or adult, and the child or adult shall be free from all obligations of maintenance and obedience as respects such parents. Provides that a parent who is also a petitioner in the adoption will retain all parental rights, responsibilities, and obligations.
