The adoptive parents and the biological parents may agree that the biological parents be entitled to reasonable contact with the minor. This agreement and any amendments thereto shall be submitted to the child protection authority at the child’s place of residence for approval. The child protection authority or a third party appointed by it shall hear the child in person in an appropriate manner before the decision is taken, unless this is inadvisable due to the child's age or for other good cause. If the child is capable of judgement, its consent is required for the agreement.
If the best interests of the child are at risk or if there is disagreement about the implementation of the agreement, the child protection authority shall decide.
The child may refuse contact with its biological parents at any time. The adoptive parents may not pass on information to the biological parents against the child’s will.
