The Pima County Juvenile Court Adoptions Program is a low-cost option for adoptions. We provide paperwork to
families that will enable them to make their child legally free for adoption. Once the child is legally free, our program
assists with the adoption process.
STEP 1 – MAKE THE CHILD LEGALLY FREE FROM THE BIRTHPARENT(S)
The following documents prove that a child is legally free from the birthparent and eligible for adoption (only one
document from this list is required for each birthparent):
Birthparent(s) signed and notarized CONSENT TO PLACE A CHILD FOR ADOPTION
OR
Severance Hearing Minute Entry (this shows the termination of the birthparent(s) rights.
OR
Putative Father Registry Certificate of NO FILE FOUND
OR
Death Certificate for birthparent(s)
Consent: If you are able to locate the birthparent(s) and they are willing to sign a notarized consent, go to STEP 2
Severance: If you are unable to obtain a Consent For Adoption (and you do not qualify for the Putative Father Registry)
then you must complete a severance. Severance is a legal term which means ending or terminating the birthparent(s)
rights. You can pick up a Severance Packet at the Pima County Juvenile Court Center Clerk of the Court’s Office at 2225 E.
Ajo Way.
There is no charge for the packet but there may be publication costs.
It takes approximately three months to complete a severance.
The PCJCC Adoptions Program cannot assist you with the severance. Most families are able to complete the
severance on their own; however, if you prefer you can seek legal help with your severance and there are many
family law attorneys in the community that can offer assistance. The charges for legal representation vary.
Putative Father Registry: If the child was born in Arizona, AND if the birthfather is not listed on the birth certificate, AND
if paternity has not been established (i.e., child support or application for public assistance) then a check of the Putative
Father Registry is sufficient to continue with adoption proceedings (as long as the result is ‘No File Found’). This is
completed by our office for a five dollar fee.
STEP 2 – START THE ADOPTION PROCESS
When you have obtained the above-listed documents that prove the child is legally free for adoption, please contact our
office at 520-724-2920 to request the Adoption Application Packet. Once your packet has been submitted and verified
that it has been filled out completely, it takes approximately three months to complete the adoption. Thank you for
choosing the PCJCC Adoptions Program - We look forward to working with your family during this important time!
