Sec. 45a-731a. Issuance of final adoption decree notwithstanding death of
child. If (1) a minor child, free for adoption pursuant to section 45a-725 on or after

Children and Families or a licensed child-placing agency, (2) an application for adoption
was filed with the court of probate having jurisdiction, and (3) the child died prior to
