A foster or prospective adoptive family shall comply with all relevant regulations unless a waiver for specific requirements of such regulations has been granted by the commissioner or his designee. A waiver shall only be issued if a foster or prospective adoptive family is in substantial compliance with the relevant regulations being exempted or that the specific requirement to be exempted will be satisfactorily achieved in a manner other than that prescribed by the requirement. A waiver shall specify the particular requirements to be exempted, the duration of the exemption and the terms under which the exemption is granted. If the foster or prospective adoptive family fails to comply with the waiver in any way the agreement shall be subject to immediate cancellation.
