After a child is placed in your home for the purpose of adoption, you will undergo at least six months of post-placement supervision before the final adoption decree is granted. These visits include interviews and your social worker will ensure you and the child are adjusting well to the placement and will offer any additional post-placement services or support you may need.
Foster care rules require that you have regular contact with the social worker and clear medical procedures, travel, and other things through her.
Sometimes the the family adoption worker assumes responsibility for post placement visits. In other circumstances, the adoption post-placement will be “supervised” by a different worker.
If the child has difficulty adjusting, post placement visits may be more frequent or visits may continue longer than required.
