The Adoption Data Card, also known as DSHS 10-114, plays a pivotal role in the adoption process within the State of Washington, providing a spectrum of essential information that supports legal and administrative requirements. Mandated by RCW 26.33.300, the completion and filing of this form with the court clerk is a critical step for the petitioner in the adoption journey. It serves not only as a means to comply with state law but also aligns with federal mandates under the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS), ensuring children adopted from foster care, special needs children, and those receiving adoption assistance are properly documented. Beyond its legal importance, the form encapsulates a wealth of information about the child being adopted, including birthplace, race, special needs status, and the circumstances of their placement with the adoptive family. It also gathers data on the birth parents and the petitioners, including demographic information that assists in a fuller understanding of the adoption landscape. Agencies and individuals facilitating the adoption contribute information about the placement, highlighting the collaborative nature of this process. Ultimately, this comprehensive document serves the vital function of providing statewide adoption statistics, enabling ongoing support and resources for adopted children and their families.
