OAR 333-011-0255
Infants of Unknown Parentage

(1)

A report for a minor child of unknown parentage found in Oregon shall be registered in the current format for births.

(2)

If the minor child is less than one year of age, the hospital where the child is examined shall submit the report of live birth in the state’s electronic reporting system.

(3)

If the minor child is more than one year of age, the agency who has assumed custody of the child shall submit a request to locate birth record to the state registrar. The request shall include:

(a)

A statement that the child is a possible foundling;

(b)

All information available on the identity of the child and parents for the purpose of identifying the birth record;

(c)

Whether the agency will be able to locate evidence to support a delayed record of birth if a birth record is not identified;

(d)

Whether an expedited denial is requested for the purpose of obtaining a court order to register the birth.

(4)

If the agency requests expedited denial, the state registrar shall review the information available and determine whether a birth record can be identified. If no birth record can be identified based on the information provided by the agency and the agency cannot provide additional documentation to support a delayed record of birth, the state registrar shall issue a denial of the request.

(5)

If the agency later identifies the child’s parents, the agency shall notify the state registrar within 10 days of the additional information. If a previously registered record is identified with the child’s information, the record registered under this rule shall be voided. If no registered record with the parent information is found, the agency shall amend the court order to register the birth to include the names, dates of birth and places of birth of the parents.
