Summarize this article:

If the court finds that the adoption meets the requirements and is in the best interests of the child, it will approve the order and fill out the remaining section of the Adoption Order. The court can never grant the adoption if any of the following are true: If either adoptive parent has been convicted of a felony related to child abuse, neglect, spousal abuse, child pornography, other crimes against a child, or for any crime involving rape, violence, homicide, or sexual assault; If either adoptive parent was convicted of a felony for physical assault, battery, or a drug or alcohol related offense within the last five years. In many adoptions, other issues must be resolved before the court. For instance, in most cases, the parties must complete and submit the ADOPT-310 Contact After Adoption Agreement form, which explains who in the child's birth family the child will be able to remain in contact with and what type of contact will be allowable. For International Adoptions, the court will ensure that the requirements of the Hague Convention have been meet. The parties should bring the ADOPT-216 Verification of Compliance with Hague Adoption Convention form with the required background information filled out. The court will find if the parties have met the convention's requirements, which the international agency will help ensure the parties meet before the hearing. Ensure that you keep several copies of each document related to the adoption including the Adoption Order with the judge's approval of the adoption for your records. Children and families dealing with adoptions may require additional post-adoption preventive, supportive, and therapeutic services. The agency that was used for the adoption or the California Association of Adoption Agencies is a good resource for these types of services.
Have the court complete the Adoption Order. Ensure all related issues are resolved. Keep all relevant paperwork. Deal with any post-placement issues.
