Post Adoption Casework and Service Planning
All families in the 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 adopted 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
