I (we) understand that the information I (we) have provided to this court will be used to inquire of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services whether I (we) am (are) named in a pending or indicated child abuse or maltreatment report(s) on file with the SCR and to provide relevant information to the court.

"NOTIFICATION TO PROSPECTIVE ADOPTIVE PARENTS OF THE SECTION 422.4(A)(p) PROCEDURE" I (we) understand that if I (we) am (are) named in a pending or indicated child abuse or maltreatment report(s) on file with the SCR then all information contained in my (our) SCR record will be provided by the court to the disinterested person conducting the court ordered private placement adoption investigation, with the exception of the name(s) or identifying description(s) of the person(s) who reported the suspected child abuse or maltreatment unless written permission for release of identity has been authorized by such reporting person(s). I (we) further understand that the results of the inquiry will be considered by the court pursuant to Section 116 of the Domestic Relations Law as one of the factors which may bear upon the outcome of my (our) adoption application. This form is not an application for adoption. It is to be used solely for the purposes described in Section 422.4(A)(p) of the Social Services Law. I (we) understand that the purpose of collecting the demographic data on other persons in my (our) household is to enable the New York State Office of Children and Family Services to identify with the greatest degree of certainty whether or not I (we) am (are) named in a child abuse or maltreatment report(s). The utilization of this, information in a discriminatory manner is contrary to the Human Rights Law. **A disinterested person: (as used in Section 116(5) of the Domestic Relations Law) includes the probation service of the Family Court, a licensed master social worker, licensed clinical social worker, or an authorized agency specifically designated by the court to conduct pre-placement investigations.
