• A pre-placement visit in your home.
• As much information as possible about the child.
• An updated Form 469, Child Information Sheet.
• A copy of the most recent Case Plan, with updated medical and educational information.
• Any other information or items that would minimize the trauma of the move for the child, including the child’s experience in the last placement.
• If appropriate, the opportunity for the former foster parents to share information regarding their parenting experiences with the child.
