Rule 9.310 Presentation of Adoption Judgments

If you're adopting a child in Oregon, you don't need to go to court in person just to get the adoption judgment signed. Your attorney can submit the proposed judgment paperwork to the judge without anyone showing up for a hearing.

This makes the process easier for adoptive families. It means the adoptive parents and their attorney can avoid taking time off work or arranging travel just to have a judge sign off on the paperwork. The judge can review and approve the adoption judgment based on the documents submitted alone.
