The Hawaii Adoption Decree is a legal document issued in the state of Hawaii that governs the adoption process. The decree outlines the legal requirements for adoption, including the rights and responsibilities of adoptive parents and adoptive children. It also provides for the transfer of parental rights and responsibilities from the biological parents to the adoptive parents. There are two types of Hawaii Adoption Decree: an Interagency Adoption Decree and a Private Adoption Decree. The Interagency Adoption Decree is issued when the adoption is arranged through an adoption agency or other government agency. The Private Adoption Decree is issued when the adoption is arranged through a private adoption attorney. Both decrees must be approved by the courts in order for the adoption to be finalized.
