Adoption Assisstance
The Adoption Program focuses on providing permanent homes for those children in the custody of the agency who are unable to be reunited with their birth families and whose parents’ parental rights have been terminated by the court. Legal adoption offers a child greater permanence and security than foster care, and continuity of nurturing relationships is critical to a child’s growth and development.
A social worker provides planning and case management services that focus on the child’s need to be in a permanent placement as soon as possible. The case planning shall recognize the importance of placing siblings in the same adoptive home; and shall consider foster parents with whom the child has developed emotional ties as a primary adoptive resource for the child.The primary focus is on “finding families for children, rather than finding children for families.”
