CHANGE NOTICE # 03-2010
SEPTEMBER 2010
The Adoption Exchange is a program provided by the Division of Social Services to assist local agencies, both public and private, in finding suitable adoptive families for special needs children in foster care awaiting adoption. An adoption exchange is a system of exchanging information with agencies about children available for adoption and about prospective adoptive parents. This is done through recruitment, the sharing of adoption referrals and information, photo listing, match/referral, and public education.
These functions are carried out with NC Kids Adoption and Foster Care Network. The activities of NC Kids are intended to supplement, not replace the traditional methods of exchange of summaries among agencies or to replace referral or registration with child placing agencies. The use of NC Kids does not relieve the agency of responsibility of continuing efforts to find placement resources.
