The Pennsylvania Voluntary Post-Adoption Contact Agreement (PV PACA) is a legal document that enables families to agree to an ongoing relationship between birth and adoptive families. The agreement is voluntary and can be customized to meet the needs of the parties involved. It allows for a variety of contact options, including exchanging letters, emails, phone calls, or visits. The PV PACA comes in two different types: the Open Contact Agreement and the Limited Contact Agreement. An Open Contact Agreement allows for unlimited and unrestricted communication and contact between the adoptive and birth families. A Limited Contact Agreement allows for more specific contact, such as exchanging pictures and letters, but does not include in-person visits. Both agreements can be changed or terminated at any time. The PV PACA is recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and is legally binding in the state of Pennsylvania.
