CA AB2390

Establishes that providers of embryos for assisted reproduction are not treated as natural parents unless the court finds satisfactory evidence that both parties intended the provider to be a parent; requires written consent from persons whose ova or sperm is included in a donated embryo.

Requires courts to consider a parent's entire criminal record (not just prior convictions) when determining parental unfitness in proceedings to declare a child free from parental custody and control.

Expands investigative reporting requirements for child custody proceedings to include summaries of the child's living circumstances, residence history, background information on parties, and explicit recommendations on whether granting the petition serves the child's best interest.

Specifies responsibility for filing postadoption contact agreements before adoption finalization (adoption agencies for agency adoptions; petitioners for independent or stepparent adoptions) and allows any party to file executed agreements within the child's minority if the responsible party fails to do so.

Codifies regulations requiring adoption agencies to hold signed relinquishment forms and inform parents of holding period options; requires agencies to void relinquishments and inform parents if a child is determined to be subject to the Indian Child Welfare Act.
