A standard home study format should be formulated and adopted for use by DSS so that each LDSS is consistent -especially since the LDSS are being asked to dually license homes as foster and adoptive homes. This would certainly ease the transition for a child into an adoptive home if their is a need to search for another home in the State.
There is no mention in the proposed regulations regarding children of the same sex not being able to share a bedroom - that is how it currently stands with the current standards. I think this is necessary since providers will sometimes go with their own judgement unless instructed otherwise.
