September 23, 2009
TO: Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Douglas E. Lumpkin, Director
SUBJECT: Extension of due date for agency adoption policy

Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rule 5101:2-48-05 "Agency Adoption and Recruitment Plan", requires agencies to update their written policy to reflect new requirements contained in Chapter 5101:2-48 of the Administrative Code and submit it to Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) within 30 days following the policy change. Due to the amendments of various OAC rules, ODJFS is extending the due date for agencies to submit their adoption policies until November 1, 2009.

Please use this time to ensure your agency written policy is in compliance with the amended rules and resubmit your policies by November 1, 2009.
