BILL NUMBER:S5202 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the family court act, the social services law and the executive law, in relation to orders of protection in termination of parental rights proceedings, child protective proceedings and permanency hearings regarding children freed for adoption This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of the Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of her Family Court Advisory and Rules Committee. Generally, the conclusion of a termination of parental rights proceeding marks the beginning of a new phase for a child in foster care, a significant step toward a stable, permanent home, most often through adoption. Sometimes, particularly in the case of kinship adoptions or mediated agreements, permanency is achieved with the understanding, agreed upon by everyone involved, that some contact should continue with the child's birth family and that such contact would be in the child's ,best interests. However, in some instances, continuing contact with the birth family would endanger the child and destabilize his or her new family. Indeed, in rare cases, stalking behavior by disturbed birth parents has posed a serious impediment to adoption of their children, causing ambivalence in prospective adoptive parents about whether to finalize an adoption and serious upset and harm to the children themselves. Unfortunately, since
