What should I expect during a post-placement visit?

Post-placement visits are an important part of the adoption process in New York. These visits are conducted by the state’s adoption agency to ensure that adoptive parents and children are adjusting to their new life together. During a post-placement visit, the adoption agency will interview the adoptive family to check on the child’s progress and development and assess whether the family is providing a safe and healthy environment for the child. The agency will ask questions about how the adoption process has gone and how the child is adjusting to the new home. The agency will also discuss any issues that have come up with the child and provide any necessary resources or referrals for assistance. The agency will also observe interactions between the family members and assess how the family is adjusting to life together. The agency may also review documents related to the adoption, such as medical records and financial information. If the visit goes well and the agency is satisfied that the family is providing the child with a safe and nurturing home, the agency will approve the adoption and issue the official paperwork. If, however, the agency has any concerns about the family’s care or the child’s progress, more visits may be required before the adoption can be finalized.
