Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Adoption Act.  Makes provision for a standby adoption,      
   which  is  an  adoption  in  which a terminally ill parent consents to      
   custody and termination of parental rights, to become  effective  upon      
   the  occurrence  of  a future event, which is either the death of that      
   terminally ill parent or the request of that parent for the entry of a      
   final judgment of adoption.  Creates forms  for  consents,  provisions      
   for  procedures, and provisions for the entry of judgment in a standby      
   adoption.
