As part of the adoption activities, you track in the system the completion of adoptive placement before finalization. These details are completed independently for each child in the case.
Record the completion of adoption activities as follows:
From the Home screen, click the Case tab.
Click the Workload tab. The Case Workload screen appears.
Click the case ID Number link for the adoption case you want to update. The Case Overview screen appears.
Click the View Member Details link in the Case Actions field. The system defaults to the Members tab; the Case Member Information screen appears. It displays all of the children in this adoption case.
Click the Placement/Finalization/Case Closure tab. The Adoption Placement/Finalization Information screen appears. This screen lists each child in the case (when added) and indicates whether placement information or finalization information is complete.
Click Add Adoption Placement. The Child for Finalization Checklist Info Details screen appears.
Or click the Edit link for a child if he or she has already been added to this screen.
Select the child in the Child Name field. Click OK. The Adoption Placement/Finalization Details screen appears.
Review the child's name and address. The Child's Pre-Adoptive Information table displays the child's name and address from the original case. The Child's Adoptive Information table displays the child's new adoptive information.
Click Copy to Adoptive Information if you want the child to have the same name and social security number after adoption finalization. (The addresses are taken from the original case address and the address of the adoptive family provider record.)
In the Adoption Placement Information field, enter the dates on which the listed activities were completed. Some of the information in the finalization check list area is pre-populated.
Click Save. You are returned to the Adoption Placement/Finalization Information screen.
Click Close. You are returned to the Case Overview screen.
