View adoption case details

When the Department is given permanent custody of a child, the process begins for finding an adoptive home for that child. An adoption case is created to record the details. If you have the appropriate access rights, you can view details of the child's original case as well as the adoption case. See About adoption cases for more information.

The system allows you to keep track of certain activities and dates related to the placement of a child in an adoptive home and the finalization of the adoption. If there is more than one child in an adoption case, these details are recorded separately for each child.

To view an adoption case not assigned to you, see Find a case record.
