adopcion por excepción adoption under exception procedure Explanation: no es tan extraño also, with the latinism: adoption in exceptio procedure Placement of Children With Relatives Current through June 30, 2003 What You Need to Know In order for States to receive Federal payments for foster care and adoption assistance, Federal law requires that they "consider giving preference to an adult relative over a non-related caregiver when determining placement for a child, provided that the relative caregiver meets all relevant State child protection standards."1 back(Placement refers to the placing of a child in the home of an individual other than a parent or guardian or in a facility other than a youth services center.) Approximately2 back14 States use the word "preference" in their statutes. Approximately six States, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands make no reference to placement with relatives pending permanent placement of a child removed from his or her parents' home. The remaining States use statutory language such as "may consider" or "give priority to" placement with relatives. Preference to Relatives Each State defines "relative" differently, including relatives through blood, marriage, or adoption ranging from the 1st to the 5th degree. Generally, preference is given to the child's grandparents, followed by aunts, uncles, and adult siblings. For Indian children, some States (for example, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Utah), allow members of the child's Tribe to be considered "extended family members" for placement purposes. |
