Judicial Council form to ask the court to appoint a confidential intermediary

Alameda Superior Court · Frequently Used Forms

Last updated July 3, 2026

This form is used when someone wants the court to appoint a neutral third party to help them locate and communicate with a biological relative (usually for adoption-related searches) while keeping their identity private. A person would need this form if they were adopted and want to find their birth parent, or if they are a birth parent seeking information about a child they placed for adoption, without revealing their identity directly.
