What papers do the adopting parents receive at finalization?
The court which is finalizing the adoption normally issues an order of adoption and/or a certificate of adoption to the adoptive parents. Most courts provide the documents on the day of finalization, while a few courts send them by mail within several days. These documents prove that the parent–child relationship has been established and that the adoption has been completed.
