Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the  Juvenile  Court  Act  of  1987.   Provides  that  the      
   biological  and  adoptive parents of a minor who is the subject of an       
   abuse, neglect, or dependency petition may enter into  an  agreement        
   at  the  time  a  consent  to  an  adoption is executed, providing for      
   visitation between one or both biological parents and their  relatives      
   and  the  adoptive  parents  or  adopted  minor,  with  consent of the      
   guardian ad litem. The agreement is  enforceable  if  in  writing  and      
   approved  by  the  juvenile court and may be modified or terminated if      
   necessary to serve the best interests of the child and if the adoptive      
   and biological parents agree or exceptional circumstances arise  after      
   the agreement is entered.  Effective immediately.
