My wife and I are starting the adoption process and my ex-wife has agreed to sign over all rights and let my wife adopt. I have all the papers ready (ADOPT-200, ADOPT-210, ADOPT-215) and the AD 2A consent form ready however upon further review of the consent form I noticed a *Title under the notary signature line. The * at the bottom of the page reads:
"The Clerk of the Superior Court, the Probation officer, or, where stepparent investigations are delegated to County Welfare Departments, a County Welfare Department Staff member may witness."
So... my question is:
(1)Can any notary sign and witness or only those people listed?
(2)If only those people listed, then is any clerk in the superior courthouse considered "The Clerk?"
Thanks for the help!

So I think that I may have found something. I believe that the AD 2A consent form doesn't have to be notarized, only signed by a Clerk of the Superior Court as a witness. However, if anyone knows for sure, please let me know as I am not 100% on this.

My daughters adoption was final last October and we had consent from the bio mom. It was really fast and the adoption from the signing of the AD2A until completion was only 2 months. The AD2A form only has to be witnessed by a court clerk and that can be any court and any clerk. Notary's charge and court clerks don't if that helps. I think it can also be notorized. This is the only thing that the parent giving up rights must sign. After this is completed it's all up to you. Good luck!!!

Also, you do not have to have an appointment to get the clerk to sign. Just walk into a court house and get a clerk to witness it. Only takes about 5 minutes depending on the line to get to the counter.
