Where this section sits in the code
- TITLE 42. ADOPTION
- CHAPTER 1. GENERAL ADOPTION PROVISIONS
- Part 1. Adoption Policy and Procedures
Finality is necessary in order to facilitate the state's compelling interest. The legislature finds that the interests of the child outweigh the interests of the state, the mother, the adoptive parents, and a birth father who is not married to the child's mother.
