Full text
(a) In placing a child in a family-based alternative, the family-based alternatives system may use a variety of placement options, including a shared parenting arrangement between the alternative family and the child's birth family. Regardless of the option used, a family-based alternative placement must be designed as a long-term arrangement, except in cases in which the child's birth family chooses to return the child to their home.
(b) Adoption of the child by the child's alternative family is an available option in cases in which the child's birth family's parental rights have been terminated.
