One thing I will say about Arizona, that I haven’t seen with other states, is that they actually have a clause in the Termination paperwork where the parent (biological) has to check “Yes” or “No” in regards to be notified upon the untimely death of the adoptee.

Many states don’t have this – currently there is a lady in Utah fighting to get this law retroactive (her child died of SIDS and she was never told!).

While I do think most if not all post adoption contact agreements are a joke – I think that clause is pretty decent…at least in Arizona, they consider first parents human with a heart…and kind of treat them that way
