ADOPTION ACT-CONSENTS

Summary
Amends the Adoption Act. Provides that the sole purpose of notice shall be to enable the person receiving the notice to appear in the adoption proceedings to present evidence to the court relevant to whether the consent or surrender of the person to the adoption is required by the Act (instead of to present evidence to the court relevant to the best interests of the child). Provides that, if the court determines that the consent or surrender of the person is not required, then the person shall not be entitled to participate in the proceedings or to any further notice of the proceedings.
