§ 63-348. Jurisdiction and proceedings.—Proceedings for the adop-
tion of a minor child and for a change of the name of such child shall be
by petition to any court of record having chancery jurisdiction in the
county or city in which the petitioner resides, provided that the Chancery
Court of the city of Richmond shall have exclusive jurisdiction in every
such case arising in the said city if the petitioner resides on the north
side of the James River, and that the Hustings Court of the city of
Richmond, Part II, shall have exclusive jurisdiction if the petitioner
resides in the said city on the south side of the James River. A petition
may be filed by any natural person who is a resident of the State of
Virginia for leave to adopt a minor child not legally his by birth, and, if
it be so desired by the petitioner, also to change the name of such child.
In the case of married persons the petition shall be the joint petition of
the husband and wife, but in the event the child to be adopted is legally
the child by birth or adoption of one of the petitioners such petitioner shall
unite in the petition for the purpose of indicating his or her consent to the
prayer thereof only. The petition shall contain a full disclosure of the
circumstances under which the child came to live, and is living, in the
home of the petitioner. |
