April 25, 2011
TO: All Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Michael B. Colbert, Director
SUBJECT: Extension of Agency Adoption Recruitment Plans to Every Two Years

Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rule 5101:2-48-05 "Agency Adoption and Recruitment Plan," requires agencies to submit a recruitment plan to ODJFS annually by May 1st. To better align adoption and foster care rules, ODJFS will be amending the rule to require bi-annual submission of adoption recruitment plans by Public Children Services Agencies, Private Child Placing Agencies, and Private Non-Custodial Agencies. The revised policy will require that these plans be submitted by May 1st of every even numbered year. The next adoption recruitment plan is now due May 1, 2012.
