NE LB70

Allows a minor child with a sole legal parent to be adopted by a second adult person without terminating the existing parent's rights, provided the sole legal parent consents, the child has a parent-child relationship with the second adult, and an adoptive home study is completed

Defines "sole legal parent" as a legal parent of a child with respect to whom no other person has parental rights, and prohibits any adoption that would result in a child having more than two legal parents

Extends child support and medical support obligations to both parents of children adopted under the new second adult person provisions, making them equally liable for support as parents of children born in wedlock

Applies the Parenting Act to disputes between parents of children adopted by a second adult person, allowing courts to address parenting functions, custody, and visitation matters

Streamlines adoptive home study requirements for second adult person adoptions when the sole legal parent's adoption occurred within six months and the second adult was included in the original home study
