What is a post-adoption contact agreement?

A post-adoption contact agreement is a legal agreement in Nebraska that outlines the type of contact or contact arrangements between the adoptive parents and the birth parents. It is also known as a post-adoption contact arrangement (PAC), and it can be formal or informal. Generally, a post-adoption contact agreement determines the amount of contact allowed between the birth parents and the adoptive family, such as how often the birth parents can visit, the amount of contact by telephone and email, and whether the child can send and receive letters or gifts. These agreements can also establish the duration of contact from years to forever, or can be set up to allow contact only until the child reaches a certain age. Post-adoption contact agreements are important in helping the adoptive family and birth parents establish open communication and transparency as they move forward. They should be drafted in consultation with both parties to ensure that both parties are in agreement and that the arrangement is beneficial to all parties. These agreements can also be modified when necessary. Post-adoption contact agreements are legally binding and enforced in a court of law in Nebraska.
