Practice Guidance
Practice Guidance
Families with health insurance are reminded to add the child to their plan.
The adoptive family participates in case planning conferences and permanency hearings until the adoption is finalized.
Post Placement Services Provided by the PCC
The PCC provider gives a copy of their recordings and a written progress report on the status of the placement to the SSW. 3
The report includes:
Dates, locations, persons contacted and type of contact, e.g. phone, home visit and office interview;
Observation and analysis of the child’s physical, mental and emotional development. If the child has medical issues, monthly reports include written updates from medical providers;
An evaluation of the quality of the relationships existing between the child and the adoptive family;
Any other appropriate comments and recommendations; and
Target date for achieving permanency (adoption finalization).
A SSW may also need to provide post-legal adoption services following the finalization of the adoption. The SSW documents all services or contacts with the family (and child) within thirty (30) days of the date of the service.
