When the supervision period is concluded and the Adoption
Services Unit receives a request from the adoptive parent(s) or their legal
representative to proceed with finalization of the adoption in the juvenile
court, the Adoption Services Unit shall assure that the following requirements
have been met or processes have been completed before proceeding with
forwarding the matter to the juvenile court for legalization:
(1) The requirements of the ICWA and OAR
chapter 413, division 115 have been met.
(2) If applicable, the requirements of the
Interstate Compact on Placement of Children have been met (OAR
413-040-0200 through
0330).
(3) The birth parent(s) and
petitioners have been advised of the Voluntary Adoption Registry (OAR
413-130-0300 through
0360).
(4) The worker has assessed
the child's need for openness in adoption, and if appropriate to the case, has
provided information to the adoptive parent(s) and facilitated the development
of a Post Adoption Communication Agreement (OAR
413-120-0610 through 0650);
and
(5) The child has been referred
to the Adoption Assistance Program; and if the child meets the criteria, a
written Adoption Assistance Agreement has been completed, (OAR
413-130-0000 through 0110). If
the adoptive parent(s) decline to participate in the Adoption Assistance
Program, the worker must obtain a statement signed by the adoptive parent(s)
which says that they have been fully informed of the availability of the
Adoption Assistance Program and waive their rights to these benefits now and in
the future.
