1. Application to adopt by a foster parent or relative.
(1) Foster parent or relative inquiry. When a foster parent or relative expresses interest in adopting a child in his or her care, a criteria staffing is held and Form 04AN020E, Adoption Placement Criteria Staffing, is completed, per OAC 340:75-15-41, to determine whether this is an appropriate referral for an adoptive family assessment.
(2) Conversion assessment or Bridge resource family re-assessment. The process to begin the conversion resource family assessment starts with a review of the current resource family assessment for foster care. The conversion assessment is completed according to Form 04AF002E, Guidelines for Resource Family Assessment Bridge Family Profile, or Form 04AF029E, Bridge Resource Family Re-assessment Guide, if an integrated assessment has previously been completed within 60 calendar days of the referral to the resource family assessment contractor.
