    IC 31-19-16
    Chapter 16. Postadoption Visitation Privileges
    IC 31-19-16-1
    Postadoption contact privileges granted to birth parent
    Sec. 1. At the time an adoption decree is entered, the court
    Entering the adoption decree may grant postadoption contact
    Privileges under section 2 of this chapter to a birth parent who has:
    (1) consented to the adoption; or
    (2) voluntarily terminated the parent-child relationship.
    As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.11. As amended by P.L.196-1997
    IC 31-19-16-2
    Procedure
    Sec. 2. A court may grant postadoption contact privileges if:
    (1) the court determines that the best interests of the child
    Would be served by granting postadoption contact privileges;
    (2) the child is at least two (2) years of age and the court finds
    That there is a significant emotional attachment between the
    child and the birth parent;

    (3) each adoptive parent consents to the granting of
    Postadoption contact privileges;
    (4) the adoptive parents and the birth parents:
    (A) execute a postadoption contact agreement; and
    (B) file the agreement with the court;

    IC 31-19-16-8
    Revocation of adoption decree barred as sanction for
    Noncompliance with agreement

    IC 31-19-16-9
    Privileges without court approval
    Sec. 9. Postadoption contact privileges are permissible without
    Court approval in an adoption of a child who is less than two (2)
    Years of age upon the agreement of the adoptive parents and a birth
    Parent. However, postadoption contact privileges under this section
    May not include visitation. A postadoption contact agreement under
    This section:
    (1) is not enforceable; and
    (2) does not affect the finality of the adoption.
    As added by P.L.196-1997, SEC.10. Amended by P.L.2-1998,
    SEC.76.
