Requires written consent from original genetic material providers if the donating provider is not the original source, unless the original provider has executed a waiver or relinquishment or a court orders otherwise.

Adds persons named in court orders terminating parental rights as legal guardians or prospective adoptive parents to those authorized to file adoption requests, and requires adoption orders to include both the adopted name and the name the child had before adoption.

Expands child protection provisions during adoption proceedings to prohibit concealing the child from the investigating agency or court with jurisdiction, and replaces references to "adoption petition" with "adoption request" throughout adoption statutes.
