The Department intends to amend multiple rules within Chapter 65C-16, Adoptions, to accomplish the following issues: 1) Make rule language reflective of legislative changes to Chapter 63 and Chapter 39, F. S.; 2) Simplify wording and resolve issues of ambiguity; and 3) Add clarifying language for implementation of the Adoption Review Committee process. Additionally, the Department intends to add two new rules within Chapter 65C-16 to accomplish the following: 1) Clarify the Department’s role when an intervention motion is filed in a dependency case by an adoption entity; 2) Clarify the process for communication or contact between the child and family members pending finalization of an adoption; and 3) Clarify the process for establishing post adoption communication or contact between the child and siblings or significant adults at the time of finalization of the adoption.
