Relates to foreign adoptions

This bill removes the age restriction that previously limited foreign adoptions in New York to individuals under 18. It allows adoptive parents to finalize adoptions for foreign-born individuals of any age, directly affecting older adoptees and their families. Key provisions require the state commissioner to issue a new birth certificate upon receiving specific documents, including proof of New York residency, foreign adoption records with certified translation, birth evidence, and valid immigrant visa status (like IR-3/IR-4). The change applies to all foreign adoptions finalized under New York law, streamlining the process for adult adoptees.
