| (a) Except in the case of children one month old and
younger, a child must have at least one pre-placement visit with the
adoptive family prior to placement. You must base the length, location,
and number of visits on the age, development, and needs of the child.
(b) You must schedule these visits over a period of
time that ensures that both the child and the adoptive family have
adequate time to prepare for the placement. The period of time should
be based on the age and developmental needs of the child.
(c) The planning for the pre-placement visits must
include the child, if applicable, the foster parents, and the adoptive
parents.
(d) You must document the plan for pre-placement visits.
Your child placement management staff must approve the plan before
visits are initiated.
