RULE §735.319 | What step does the department recommend if a child does not begin living with the adoptive parents within six months after the pre-placement portion of an adoption evaluation has been completed? |
For a child that does not begin living with the adoptive parents within six months after the completion of the pre-placement portion of an adoption evaluation, the department recommends that you update the pre-placement portion of an adoption evaluation within the 30-day period before the child begins living in the home. But the court responsible for finalizing the adoption must make the final decision on whether the update is necessary. |
