AB214-SSA2,1,6 1An Act to repeal 48.428 (6) (b); to renumber and amend 48.428 (6) (a) and
248.93 (2); to amend 48.426 (3) (c), 48.92 (2) and 48.93 (1d); and to create 48.425
3(1) (h), 48.429, 48.43 (2) (d) and 48.93 (2) (a) of the statutes; relating to:
4posttermination of parental rights contact between a child and a birth relative
5of the child and disclosure of the report of an investigation of the home of a
6proposed adoptive parent on the request of the proposed adoptive parent.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a termination of parental rights (TPR) order permanently
severs all legal rights and duties between a birth parent and the child. Current law
does, however, permit the court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the Children's
Code (juvenile court) to order visitation by a birth parent of a child placed in
sustaining care following a TPR. Current law also permits the juvenile court, in the
case of a child who is adopted by a stepparent or relative, to grant reasonable
visitation rights to a relative of the child who has maintained a relationship similar
to a parent-child relationship with the child if the juvenile court determines that the
visitation is in the best interests of the child and that the relative will not undermine
the adoptive parents' relationship with the child.

This substitute amendment permits a posttermination contact agreement to be
entered into between the proposed adoptive parents of a child or, if at the time the
agreement is entered into no proposed adoptive parent has been identified, the
Department of Children and Families, a county department of human services or
social services, or a licensed child welfare agency having guardianship, legal custody,
or supervision of the child (collectively "agency") and a birth relative of the child at
any time before a TPR order is granted if: 1) the child is in the legal custody or under
the supervision or guardianship of an agency; and 2) the child, if 12 years of age or
over, consents to the terms of the agreement.
The substitute amendment permits any party to the TPR proceeding or any
birth relative of the child to propose a posttermination contact agreement if the birth
parent agrees to voluntarily consent to the TPR or not to contest an involuntary TPR
before grounds for TPR are found. If those circumstances do not apply, only the
proposed adoptive parents, the agency, the district attorney, corporation counsel, or
other official who filed the TPR petition, the juvenile court, or, in the case of an Indian
child, the Indian child's tribe may propose a posttermination contact agreement.
A posttermination contact agreement may provide for any of the following:
1. Visitation between the child and a birth relative of the child.
2. Future contact and communication between the child, adoptive parent, or
agency and a birth relative of the child.
3. The sharing of information about the child in the future between the adoptive
parent or agency and a birth relative of the child.
4. The maintenance and sharing of the medical and genetic history of any birth
relative who is a party to the agreement.
A posttermination contact agreement must contain: 1) an acknowledgement by
all birth relatives who are parties to the agreement that, subject to certain exceptions
under current law, the TPR and adoption are irrevocable and that failure by a party
to comply with the agreement is not grounds to revoke the TPR or adoption; 2) an
acknowledgement by the proposed adoptive parents or agency that the agreement
is enforceable by any person who is permitted posttermination visitation, contact,
communication, or sharing of information under the agreement; and 3) a statement
by all parties to the agreement that the agreement was entered into voluntarily and
with understanding of the terms of the agreement, that no promises or threats were
made to coerce any person into entering into the agreement, and that the parties
have not relied on any representations other than those contained in the agreement.
At the time a TPR order is granted, a juvenile court may approve a
posttermination contact agreement if: 1) the child and the birth parent meet the
conditions for entering into the agreement; 2) the agreement contains the provisions
required under the substitute amendment; 3) the parties to the agreement including
the birth parent and child, if 12 years of age or over, sign the agreement; 4) the agency,
the child's guardian ad litem, or, in the case of an Indian child, the tribal child welfare
department of the Indian child's tribe files the agreement; 5) the juvenile court
addresses all parties to the agreement and determines that the agreement was
entered into voluntarily and with understanding of the terms of the agreement, that
no promises or threats were made to coerce any person into entering into the

agreement, and that the parties have not relied on any representations other than
those contained in the agreement; 6) the agency, the child's guardian ad litem, and,
in the case of an Indian child, the Indian child's tribe submit to the juvenile court
recommendations concerning the granting of posttermination visitation, contact,
communication, or sharing of information as provided for in the agreement; and 7)
the juvenile court determines that granting posttermination visitation, contact,
communication, or sharing of information as provided for in the agreement would be
in the best interests of the child.
In determining whether granting posttermination visitation, contact,
communication, or sharing of information as provided for in the agreement would be
in the best interests of the child, the juvenile court must consider: 1) whether the
child has substantial relationships with the person who would have visitation,
contact, communication, or sharing of information under the agreement, and
whether it would be harmful to the child not to preserve those relationships; 2) any
special needs of the child and how those special needs would be affected by visitation,
contact, communication, or sharing of information as provided for in the agreement;
3) the specific terms of the agreement and the likelihood that the parties will
cooperate in complying with the agreement; 4) the recommendations of the agency,
the child's guardian ad litem, and, in the case of an Indian child, the Indian child's
tribe; and 5) any other factors that are relevant to the best interests of the child.
Current law requires the juvenile court to consider certain factors in
determining whether TPR would be in the best interests of the child. One of those
factors is whether the child has substantial relationships with the parent or other
family members, and whether it would be harmful to the child to sever those
relationships. Recently, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held, in State v. Margaret H.,
200 WI 42, 234 Wis. 2d 606, 621, that the severance of substantial relationships
factor requires the juvenile court to examine the impact of a legal severance of those
relationships on the broader relationships existing between the child and his or her
family and that the juvenile court, in its discretion, may afford due weight to an
adoptive parent's stated intent to permit continued visitation between the child and
his or her pretermination family, even though such a promise is legally
unenforceable after TPR and adoption. This substitute amendment requires the
juvenile court, in evaluating that factor, to consider the terms of any posttermination
contact agreement under the substitute amendment that has been entered into with
respect to the child and permits the juvenile court to consider any other agreement
by a proposed adoptive parent to permit contact between the child and his or her
pretermination family after adoption of the child.
A posttermination contact agreement that has been approved by the juvenile
court is enforceable by the juvenile court. Before petitioning the juvenile court for
specific performance of the agreement, however, the petitioner must participate, or
attempt to participate, in good faith in formal or informal mediation or other
appropriate dispute resolution proceedings to resolve the dispute giving rise to the
filing of the petition. If the juvenile court finds that a person is not in compliance with
the agreement, that enforcement of the agreement is in the best interests of the child,
and that the petitioner, before filing the petition, participated, or attempted to

participate, in good faith in formal or informal mediation or other appropriate
dispute resolution proceedings to resolve the dispute giving rise to the filing of the
petition, the juvenile court must issue an order requiring specific performance of the
agreement, which order is the sole remedy for noncompliance with the agreement.
A posttermination contact agreement that has been approved by the juvenile
court may be terminated or modified by agreement of the parties if the juvenile court
finds that the termination or modification would be in the best interests of the child
or by the juvenile court if a party shows that the termination or modification would
be in the best interests of the child, or that there has been a substantial change in
circumstances since the entry of the last order affecting the agreement, and that the
petitioner, before filing the petition, participated, or attempted to participate, in good
faith in formal or informal mediation or other appropriate dispute resolution
proceedings to resolve the dispute giving rise to the filing of the petition. An order
to modify an approved posttermination contact agreement may limit, restrict,
condition, or decrease visitation, contact, communication, or sharing of information
between the child and a birth relative of the child, but may not expand, enlarge, or
increase that visitation, contact, communication, or sharing of information or place
any new obligations on the adoptive parent or agency.
Finally, under current law, all records and papers pertaining to an adoption
proceeding may not be disclosed except under certain statutory exceptions or by
order of the juvenile court for good cause shown. This substitute amendment permits
a proposed adoptive parent whose home is the subject of an investigation to
determine whether the home is suitable for the child (home study) to request the
agency conducting the home study to disclose its report of the home study to another
agency authorized to place children for adoption, the state adoption information
exchange, or the state adoption center. Within ten days after receipt of such a
request, the agency must disclose the report to the person named in the request,
unless within those ten days the agency petitions the juvenile court for an order
permitting the agency not to disclose the report, to restrict the information to be
disclosed, or to defer disclosure of the report to a later date or for such other
appropriate relief as the agency may request and the juvenile court finds good cause
for granting the relief requested.
