To match a family with a child for a legal risk adoption, the caseworker:

  •  assesses families in the Central Registry regarding their ability to parent a child of the age, sex, and special needs of the child being placed; and

  •  selects up to the first five families; .

  •  reviews the cases to determine if there are factors that make a particular family more qualified to take a child than the other families, ranking the families according to the factors listed in 6931 Issues to Consider When Selecting an Adoptive Home; and

  •  chooses a family.

If the caseworker determines that more than one family is qualified to parent the child or children being considered for placement the caseworker chooses the family best qualified according to 6931 Issues to Consider When Selecting an Adoptive Home.
