Post Adoption Casework and Service PlanningAll
families in the State-Contracted Post Adoption Program are assigned a
caseworker. Caseworkers are responsible for verifying eligibility and
developing a service plan based on the adopted child's history, the
child's current functioning, and the needs of all the family members as
they relate to the adopted child's presence in the home. The caseworker
reviews this service plan with the adoptive family and updates it at
least once every six months.
Casework services are available 24 hours a day. Casework services include the following:
- Education regarding adoption issues
- Counseling with families about services
- Referring clients to appropriate community resources
- Participating in meetings with other agencies working with a child or family
- Aiding families in seeking third-party financial resources
