Consideration Justification

This screen allows you to view, add, or update a decision whether to include this family in a matching conference. This screen is also used to indicate whether this provider should not be included in future searches. You can edit this screen only if you are the worker who created the pre-matching decision record or if you are that worker's supervisor.

This screen displays a list of potential adoptive families, sorted by match percentage.
