This bill clarifies the consent necessary for the adoption of an adult. Nationwide standard for an adult adoption is to require consent of the adult adoptee and the adoptee's spouse if any. Currently, a termination of parental rights is required in an adult adoption in Idaho. This legislation will remove that requirement because the adult adoptee is over the age of 18, and thus there are no parental rights.
