The Uniform Adoption Act (1994) is a model law (uniform act) proposed by the U.S. Uniform Law Commission. It attempts to "be a comprehensive and uniform state adoption code that: 1. * is consistent with relevant federal constitutional and statutory law 2. * delineates the legal requirements and consequences of different kinds of adoption 3. * promotes the integrity and finality of adoptions while discouraging "trafficking" in minors 4. * respects the choices made by the parties to an adoption about how much confidentiality or openness they prefer in their relations with each other, subject, however, to judicial protection of the adoptee's welfare 5. * promotes the interest of minor children in being raised by individuals who are committed to, and capable of, caring for them."
