The social worker will also discuss all of the responsibilities of becoming an adoptive parent in more detail. It is important to remember that it is still possible for a family to not meet some non-negotiable requirements. A final assessment will be done once training has been completed. During this time, certain areas of continued education, like family development and providing the best environment for a child, are discussed to determine if you meet or are in compliance with adoption requirements. Now that all of the assessment and training have been completed and it has been determined that your are in compliance with requirements, an adoption approval is issued.
Social workers keep a file on the adoptive families in their area.
Once they find a child needing a home and a family that matches the needs of the child, the child may be placed in the home.
