Summary

The bill lets an adoptee file a readoption petition on their own if the adoptive parents and the facilitating agency failed to file the required petition. Courts may grant the petition even without all standard documents if the adoptee shows they cannot obtain them. It also expands notice requirements if the child may have been a trafficking victim.
