August 20, 2014
TO: Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Cynthia C. Dungey, Director
SUBJECT: Amendments to Adoption OAC Rule 5101:2-48-25.

This letter transmits one amended rule surrounding adoption updates as a result of the Five Year Review. This rule will be effective September 1, 2014. The following is a brief explanation of the changes:

OAC rule 5101:2-48-25, entitled "Inter-country adoption data collection" provides guidance regarding reporting disruptions and dissolutions of inter-country adoptions. Paragraphs (B) through (F) were revised to remove the reporting requirement for private noncustodial agencies, as the responsibility for reporting the information lies with the agency placing the child in foster care.

INSTRUCTIONS: The following chart identifies the material that should be removed from the Family, Children and Adult Services Manual (FCASM) and the material that should be added.
