Florida Administrative Code › 65 - DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES › 65C - Family Safety and Preservation Program › Chapter 65C-16 - ADOPTIONS › Section 65C-16.010 - Adoption Placement - Post-Placement Services

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) The Department has a legal responsibility
				to provide services until the finalization of an adoption. This period shall be
				a minimum of 90 days from the date the child was placed in the physical custody
				of the adoptive parent. The first home visit must be made within one (1) week
				after placement, unless the child has been residing in the home for more than
				30 days. There shall be a minimum of three (3) home visits in placements. For
				placements which do not proceed smoothly, additional and more frequent contacts
				are necessary. The adoptive child must be contacted a minimum of once every 30
				days until adoption finalization. The entire family must be seen together at
				least once during the post-placement supervision period.
(2) Some placements are, by nature, complex
				and will require additional services during the post-placement period. All
				needed services must be identified and accessed prior to the day of
				finalization of an adoption.
(3)
				Children with severe emotional and behavioral difficulties who required
				specialized services to maintain stability in their foster home often need the
				same services in the adoptive home. An ongoing assessment of the effectiveness
				of services implemented at the time of placement must be a part of placement
				supervision to determine if the current services are effective or if additional
				services are needed.
(4)
				Multidisciplinary Team. During the post-placement supervision period, adoptive
				families may access the services of the Multidisciplinary Team. When the
				services of the team are needed, the case manager or adoption counselor shall
				initiate contact with the identified single point of access.
(5) At the end of the supervisory period, the
				case manager or adoption supervisor and the adoption counselor, or the
				community-based-care (CBC) agency, must make a final assessment of the
				placement. Before the final adoption hearing, or within 90 days after the
				adoption petition is filed with the court by the adoptive family, whichever
				occurs first, a final home investigation must be completed as directed in
				Section  63.125, F.S., and a written
				report on the findings, including a recommendation on the granting of the
				adoption petition, must be filed with the court. In addition to the
				requirements of Section
				 63.125, F.S., the following must
				be addressed in the written report to the court:
(a) A summary of issues discussed in Rule
				 65C-16.005, F.A.C., Evaluation
				of Applicants, and Rule
				 65C-16.007, F.A.C., Abuse
				Hotline and Registry and Criminal Records Checks.
(b) A full discussion regarding any unusual
				circumstances in the adoptive family, including health records and findings,
				and financial problems.

				subsidy must be the placement of choice unless it can be shown that such
				placement is not in the best interest of the child.

				subsidy must be determined prior to the adoptive placement. A family who enters
				into their initial subsidy agreement when the child is 16 or 17 years of age
				must make an election on the initial "Adoption Assistance Agreement" of whether
				or not to participate in the Extension of Maintenance Adoption subsidy program.

				agency in the county where the court has jurisdiction is responsible for
				entering into the Adoption Assistance Agreement and paying the adoption
				subsidy, even if the child is placed in an adoptive home in another
				county.
(b) If the Department or
				CBC agency does not have responsibility for placement and care of the child,
				the CBC agency in the adoptive parents' county of residence is responsible for
				determining whether the child meets the definition of difficult-to-place,
				entering into the Adoption Assistance Agreement and paying the adoption
				subsidy.
(c) When the need for
				subsidy is not determined prior to placement, and the adoptive parents feel
				they have been wrongly denied subsidy benefits on behalf of an adopted child,
				they have the right to appeal the denial pursuant to Chapter 120, F.S. If it is
				found that the subsidy was wrongly denied, retroactive payment will be made
				dating back to the date the family officially requested subsidy in writing.
				Retroactive payment dating back to the date of placement will not be
				approved.

(1) Hours of Care.
				Evening Child Care, as defined in Section
				 402.302(7),
				F.S., means child care provided during evening hours and may encompass the
				hours of 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.

				Supervision. During evening child care hours, staff must remain awake at all
				times. While children are awake, direct supervision as described in paragraph

				 65C-22.001, F.A.C., apply to

Florida Administrative Code › 65 - DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES › 65C - Family Safety and Preservation Program › Chapter 65C-22 - CHILD CARE STANDARDS › Section 65C-22.008 - School Age Child Care

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Application for
				licensure. Application for a license or for renewal of a license to operate a
				school-age child care program must be made on CF-FSP Form 5272, May 2019,
				Application for a License to Operate a School-Age Child Care Facility, which is
				incorporated by reference. CF-FSP Form 5272 may be obtained from the
				Department's website at
www.myflfamilies.com/childcare
or
				from the following link:
http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-10468
.
(2) Licensing: A school-age child care
				program must be licensed prior to operation and for continued operation, unless
				the program demonstrates that it is exempt pursuant to subsection (3), below.
				The license is issued in the name of the owner. The owner may be an individual,
				partnership, association, company or corporation, and the license must be
				posted in a conspicuous location where the school-age child care program is
				operating.
(3) Exemptions: A
				school-age child care program is not required to be licensed as long as the
				program complies with the minimum background screening requirements provided in
				Sections  402.305 and
				 402.3055, F.S., and if the
				program demonstrates that conditions of one of the following criteria outlined
				in paragraphs (a)-(e), below, are met. A school-age program exempted under
				paragraph (3)(a), (c), or (d), below, may become licensed if it chooses to meet
				all of the applicable licensing standards in subsection (5), below.

				school or through a formal agreement, such as a contract, between the school
				(or school district, when the latter reserves authority for such agreements)
				and a provider which names the school/school district as the responsible party
				for the operation of the program. A lease for space or user agreement, with or
				without the endorsement of the program by the school/school district, does not
				meet the formal agreement requirement.
2. Serves only the school-age children
				attending the school during the school day. The program may provide services
				during any out-of-school time, including before school, after school, on
				teacher planning days, holidays, and intercessions that occur during the school
				district's academic calendar year.
3. Follows the standards set forth by the
				Florida Building Code State Requirements for Public Educational Facilities
				pursuant to Section  402.305(5),
				F.S., programs operated in public school facilities, regardless of the
				operator.
