Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025
(a) The service plan must address:
(1) The needs of the birth parents (unless
parental rights have been relinquished or involuntarily terminated), the fetus
or child, and the adoptive family; and
(2) Any other issue that impacts the
adoption.
(b) The adoptive family becomes part of the service plan when matched with a child, or with a birth parent and fetus. You do not have to develop separate service plans for adoptive families that do not have a completed home study.
(c) The plan must include specific strategies to meet the needs and issues identified, and an estimate of the time required to consummate the adoption. You must inform the birth parents (unless parental rights have been relinquished or involuntarily terminated) and adoptive parents of the services you provide.
