Where this section sits in the code
- TITLE 45a. PROBATE COURTS AND PROCEDURE
- CHAPTER 803*. TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS AND ADOPTION
- PART IV*. AVAILABILITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF ADOPTION RECORDS
Each child-placing agency or the department shall be required to make a reasonable effort to obtain the information provided for in section 45a-746 for each child being placed for adoption or for whom there is a probability of adoption, but the lack of such information shall not be a bar to the granting of a decree of adoption, provided the child-placing agency or department has made a reasonable effort to obtain the information. If the judge of probate decides that a reasonable effort has not been made to obtain the information or that the information is being unreasonably withheld, the judge may order the child-placing agency or department to make a reasonable effort to obtain the information or to release the information. Any child-placing agency or department aggrieved by the order may appeal to the Superior Court.
