(a) Monitor the child's adoption placement by reviewing the 90-day written progress reports received from the foreign authorized entity.

(b) Assess, based on the information in the 90-day reports, whether the child is adjusting to and being integrated into the prospective adoptive family's household.

(c) Complete all necessary steps related to the adoption assistance process, if applicable.

(4) When it becomes known to the Department that there are significant changes to the situation of the prospective adoptive parents, including changes in family structure, the Department may require an updated adoption home study prior to making a determination to proceed with finalization of the adoption.

(5) Prior to finalization of the adoption, when the local child welfare office determines the prospective adoptive parents are no longer appropriate for the child, the requirements of OAR 413-120-0870 apply.
