This is wonderful. All it does it holds the prospective adoptive parent to the promise they made the birth family before THEY made the adoption plan and decision to place their child into their family. If you don't want contact with the birth family you have no business adopting. If you think they are a bad influence, you are placing that image on your child, their blood just like happens in a divorce situation where one spouse insults the other.

What would be nice is a requirement to get permission from both parents before surrender and adoption and require the state court that the bio mom and dad lived in when the pregnancy occurred and the state where the child is born to also approve the adoption. And not just the state of the prospective adoptive couple or the state the agency and family whisk the pregnant birth mother off to another state just before delivery,
