A family not selected as the adoptive resource or a team member may request a review of the decision made by the Adoption Staffing Team, if the family believes the following regarding the staffing:
- There was a procedure error per Adoption Staffing Team process
The requestor provides specific examples of perceived bias which precluded consensus from being reached.
The family must submit a request for review:
- Within (3) business days of the Adoption Staffing Team Meeting Decision
- In writing using the CD-190
- Submitted to the Circuit Manager of the case manager for the foster youth(s) for which the Adoption Staffing Team was convened.
- If the case is managed by a Foster Care Case Management, (FCCM), contractor, submitted to the FCCM Director.
If there are no safety concerns regarding the foster youth(s) remaining in the home, they should not be moved from the home until the decision is finalized.
