The record of the child's development and needs; d. The child's life book information; e. The provision of pertinent, nonidentifying information regarding the child's background, case plan, and written authority from the custodian for medical care, including prescribed medication; and f. An explanation of reimbursement procedures for cost of care. 3. If the child-placing agency wishes to use a county-supervised foster home, the child-placing agency shall secure permission to utilize the home from the appropriate county social service board prior to the placement. Permission must be limited to a specific child for a specific period of time. The child-placing agency shall provide the same information regarding the child to the county foster home as it would provide to the child-placing agency's foster home. N.D. Admin Code 75-03-36-27
