Modifies provisions regarding subsidies for adoptive parents and guardians. Authorizes the Department of Human Services to redirect subsidy payments for the benefit of a child who no longer receives direct support from an adoptive parent or guardian.

Directs the court to make a determination regarding a child's continuing contact with the child's biological siblings when parental rights are terminated. Directs the department to disclose records regarding a child's life history, at the request of the child, if the child's parent's parental rights to the child were surrendered or terminated.
