Program Requirements

Each state, as well as the placing agency you have chosen to work with, has it’s own set of requirements for adoptive families. Families in this program are required to be open to children of either sex. If the placing agency allows, families can state their preference of the child, but if they are open to parenting a multiracial child, they must be prepared to parent the child’s full identity. Having a preference may result in a longer wait.

Progress Reporting

EVOLVE will comply with the post placement reporting requirements of the other agency and state. This may include multiple home visits and reports as needed.
