Dss 1800 Form PDF Details

The DSS 1800 form plays a crucial role in the adoption process within the State of North Carolina, serving as an official petition for the adoption of a minor child. This comprehensive document requires petitioning parents to provide detailed information about themselves, the child they wish to adopt, and the circumstances surrounding the adoption. It mandates disclosure of the petitioners' residency status, ensuring they meet the state's domicile requirements for adoption. The form also covers the necessity of preplacement assessments and the procurement of all necessary consents, relinquishments, or terminations of parental rights required by law. Further, petitioners must disclose any financial assets owned by the adoptee, adhering to legal stipulations regarding the child's property. The DSS 1800 requires information on how the adoptee was placed with the petitioners, any reasons for not currently having physical custody of the child, and acknowledgments regarding compliance with inter-state placement laws and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. Throughout the process, the form emphasizes the suitability of the petitioners as adoptive parents and their commitment to treat the adoptee as their lawful child. The completion and submission of this document, along with necessary attachments and affidavits, represent a critical step in formalizing the adoption within North Carolina's legal framework, culminating in a legal request to establish a parent-child relationship and a change of name for the adoptee as authorized by law.
