Surrogate’s Court or another county’s Family Court) then the adoption matter shall be stayed and the Court with the filing shall communicate with the originating Court. The originating Court shall then determine whether to keep the case and have the Court where the petition was filed transfer the adoption proceeding or to cede jurisdiction over the adoption to the other Court ‘As a practical matter, all agency adoption petitions which arise from a child being freed for adoption as a result of a TPR or surrender in Family Court should be filed in the Family Court which heard the TPR of surrender in order to expedite the proceeding.
