5-3A-36.
(C) ADOPTION OF AN ADULT HAS THE SAME LEGAL EFFECT AS ADOPTION OF
A MINOR
COMMITTEE NOTE: FL § 5-3A-34(a), (b), and (c) is renumbered as FL §
5-3A-35(a), (b), and (d), to reflect addition of proposed FL § 5-3A-34 and
of new subsection (c) of this section, which is derived without substantive
change from former FL § 5-308(c).
As to "adult" and "minor", see Art. 1, § 24 of the Code.
5-3A-13. ACCESS FOR ADOPTIVE PARENT.
(A) ALLOWED.
SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION, ACCESS TO A DENTAL OR
MEDICAL RECORD OF AN ADOPTED MINOR MAY NOT BE DENIED TO A PARENT OF THE
MINOR BECAUSE THE PARENT IS AN ADOPTIVE PARENT.
(B) LIMIT ON IDENTIFYING INFORMATION.
ACCESS TO A DENTAL OR MEDICAL RECORD UNDER THIS SECTION MAY NOT
INCLUDE ACCESS TO ANY PART OF THE RECORD THAT HAS IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION AS TO A FORMER PARENT OF THE MINOR
COMMITTEE NOTE: This section is derived from former FL § 5-329.1.
In subsection (b) of this section, the word "natural", which formerly
modified the reference to the former parent, is deleted to reflect that the
parental rights of a nonbiological i.e., adoptive parent can be terminated in
the same manner as a biological parent's can.
As to "minor", see Art. 1, § 24 of the Code.
Defined terms: "Identifying information" § 5-3A-01
"Include" § 1-101
"Parent" § 5-3A-01
5-3B-15.

PROSPECTIVE ADOPTEE.
(B) ISSUANCE OF ORDER
A COURT SHALL ISSUE A SHOW CAUSE ORDER THAT INCLUDES ADVICE AS TO
THE PARENT'S RIGHTS TO:
