Amend CSSB 758 by adding the following appropriately numbered 
SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill 
accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  (a)  Section 102.005, Family Code, is amended 
to read as follows:
	Sec. 102.005.  STANDING TO REQUEST TERMINATION AND 
ADOPTION.  An original suit requesting only an adoption or for 
termination of the parent-child relationship joined with a petition 
for adoption may be filed by:
		(1)  a stepparent of the child;                                               
		(2)  an adult who, as the result of a placement for 
adoption, has had actual possession and control of the child at any 
time during the 30-day period preceding the filing of the petition;
		(3)  an adult who has had actual possession and control 
of the child for not less than two months during the three-month 
period preceding the filing of the petition; [or]
		(4)  an adult who has adopted, or is the foster parent 
of and has petitioned to adopt, a sibling of the child; or
		(5)  another adult whom the court determines to have 
had substantial past contact with the child sufficient to warrant 
standing to do so.
	(b)  The change in law made by this section applies only to a 
suit affecting the parent-child relationship filed on or after the 
effective date of this Act.  A suit affecting the parent-child 
relationship filed before the effective date of this Act is 
governed by the law in effect on the date the suit was filed, and the 
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
