Arizona adoption laws allow an adopted adult age 21 or older or a birth parent to provide a notarized statement granting consent or withholding consent to the release of information. If consent is given, then the information will be given to the requesting party. Any party may try to obtain identifying information by petitioning the court for compelling need. | |||
The following parties may use the services of a confidential intermediary to obtain adoption information: <br>birth siblings age 21 or older; <br>adoptive parents or legal guardians of adopted adults age 18 or older; <br>adopted adults age 21 or older; <br>the immediate, adult relatives (age 21 or older) of a deceased adopted adult; <br>birth parents; or <br>birth grandparents if birth parents are deceased. <br>A confidential intermediary must obtain written consent from both parties before releasing information. Adoptive parents may file an affidavit that prohibits the confidential intermediary from contacting the adopted adult unless the adoptive parents remove the affidavit or the adopted adult files an affidavit stating that he or she knows he or she is adopted and wishes to make contact with the birth parents. Birth parents can file an affidavit prohibiting contact with birth siblings. | |||
