California SB927 mandates procedures for readoption of children finalized in foreign countries.

California SB927 amends Section 8919 of the Family Code to establish procedures for readoption of children finalized in foreign countries. It requires state residents who have finalized an intercountry adoption to file a petition to readopt within 60 days of the child's entry into the United States or by the child's 16th birthday. The petition must include a foreign decree of adoption, a certified copy of the child's foreign birth certificate, proof of lawful entry into the U.S., and a report from a postplacement home visit.
