So
long as any adoptive parent is receiving support pursuant to RCW 26.33.320 and *74.13.100 through 74.13.145 he or she shall, upon
request, file with the secretary a copy of his or her federal
income tax return. Such return and any information thereon shall
be marked by the secretary "confidential", shall be used by the
secretary solely for the purposes of RCW 26.33.320 and
*74.13.100 through 74.13.145, and shall not be revealed to any
other person, institution or agency, public or private, including
agencies of the United States government, other than a superior
court, judge or commissioner before whom a petition for adoption
of a child being supported or to be supported pursuant to RCW 26.33.320 and *74.13.100 through 74.13.145 is then pending.

require the adoptive parent or parents to disclose such
additional financial information, not privileged, as may enable
him or her to make determinations and adjustments in support to
the end that the purposes and policies of this state expressed in
*RCW 74.13.100 may be carried out, provided that no adoptive
parent or parents shall be obliged, by virtue of this section, to
sign any agreement or other writing waiving any constitutional
right or privilege nor to admit to his or her home any agent,
employee, or official of any department of this state, or of the
United States government.
Such information shall be marked "confidential" by the
secretary, shall be used by him or her solely for the purposes of
RCW 26.33.320 and *74.13.100 through 74.13.145, and shall not be
revealed to any other person, institution, or agency, public or
private, including agencies of the United States government other
than a superior court judge or commission before whom a petition
for adoption of a child being supported or to be supported
pursuant to RCW 26.33.320 and *74.13.100 through 74.13.145 is
then pending.
