Establishes the division of maternal and child resources within the department of social services and the "Save MO Babies Act" to help assist persons in the adoption of children
HB 887 establishes a new "division of maternal and child resources" within Missouri's Department of Social Services and creates the "Save MO Babies Act" to streamline adoption services for expectant mothers. The division would coordinate with expectant mothers who wish to place their children for adoption, conduct background checks on prospective adoptive parents, and maintain matching records to connect them. It would operate county offices statewide to provide these services, ensuring children are placed with qualified adoptive families while also aiding mothers in accessing other state resources.
