| MN Adoptive Parent Preparation Service Options:
Consultation
An LSS social worker will
consult with you on your specific Designated Adoption situation to determine
the needs and to plan for services to meet those needs. We consult with other
attorneys and agencies involved to coordinate a plan.
Facilitation
An LSS social worker will be
assigned to help to facilitate your adoption plan and to coordinate the
services with other professionals involved throughout the entire process.
Adoption (Home) Study
After submitting the
completed adoption application, you will be assigned a social worker who will
meet with you to educate you on the adoption process and learn about your
family for the adoption study document. Close attention is paid to preparing
the written adoption study document to meet the expectations of other
professionals involved.
Adoption Training Workshop
LSS offers
education on the adoption process and general adoption issues. Trainings will
be tailored to your adoption situation.
MN Adoptive Parent Post Placement Service
Options:
Post Placement Supervision
In Minnesota,
families must have supervision of their adoption by an agency for a minimum of
three months after placement of the child in their home. LSS will conduct the
supervision interviews and submit a recommendation to the court for your
adoption finalization.
Adoption Assistance/Subsidy Application
(if applies)
If medical/social risks are appropriate and state requirements have
been met, LSS will make application to the state of Minnesota on behalf of the
adoptive parents for an adoption subsidy on a high risk or full subsidy level.
Legal Adoption
Families, or an attorney on
their behalf, finalize their adoption in the court in their county. LSS
provides guidance to the family and supportive documents to the court.
