For complete instructions on referring clients for in-state adoption services, see 8161.1 Active Cases — Authorizing, Extending, or Terminating Direct Services.
Additional Instructions
Only one Form 2054, Service Authorization, is required for Adoptive Placement Services and Post-Placement Adoption Services if placement and consummation both occur within a six-month period.
However, an additional service authorization is required for Post-Placement Adoption Services if:
• the adoption is consummated six or more months after the date of the initial service authorization; or
• DFPS contracts for post-placement adoption services with a different child-placing agency (CPA) for good cause.
