US: Federal Bill Would Standardize Home Visit Process for Adoption, Foster Placement
Imprint – July 07, 2021
Not every applicant would make an equally suitable adoptive or foster parent. But if the professionals who must evaluate those applications aren’t all asking the same set of questions, it’s pretty hard to compare applicants and to identify those that would best suit a child’s individual needs for a safe, loving home. Recognizing this, a bipartisan group of federal lawmakers has introduced a resolution that would standardize the process of conducting home visits and require uploading the results of these visits into a database that placement agencies could use to efficiently find the right fit.
