Tennessee HB1692 allows courts to waive certain adoption requirements for related petitioners or those who have already housed the child for six.
Tennessee HB1692 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 36 and Title 37, to allow courts to waive the preliminary home study, home study, and six-month waiting period for adoptions when the child has resided with the petitioners for six months and the court is satisfied the adoption is in the child's best interest. This applies to both related and unrelated petitioners. The changes take effect upon becoming law.
