Any child in CD custody who is available for adoption and is not being adopted by the current resource provider family is available for placement with any approved adoptive family. Selecting a placement resource shall be conducted via the Adoption Staffing process.
Prior to the staffing, recruitment of perspective adoptive families may be necessary. The adoptive family selection process begins with the Children’s Service Worker conducting a search for approved adoptive families. Search activities may include sharing the child’s profile by using the AdoptUSKids website, or Raise The Future’s website. Staff can also send an email out to Resource Development workers across the state sharing the child’s profile and requesting approved home assessments from families. Keep in mind, the email may be forwarded on to adoptive families by the Resource Development workers.
