Although you are the adoptive family for the child, the child is still in foster care until the adoption is finalized. During this time, an adoption worker will visit you and the child monthly for at least six months as a support. These visits may occur in your home or the community and will include conversations with you and the child individually.
This helps makes sure everyone is adjusting well as the child starts living in your home. If your family or the child needs more support, the adoption worker will help you find services.
