Summary
“For the first year of placement the agency requires a co-residing support adult. This person would live in the home for the first 12 months after placement. They're not replacing you as the parent. The requirement exists so if there's an emergency or adjustment difficulty there's another adult in the household who can provide immediate support.”
Boom’s expression stayed controlled. “I can provide a stable home alone.”
Aou had expected that. “I know. The policy is applied to all single applicants at your stage.”
“Regardless of the evaluation?”
“The evaluation determines whether placement can proceed. The condition determines how.”
Boom's jaw tightened, then released. “So it's not because of a specific concern about me. Or about Ceri.”
Kanya continued. “When an applicant doesn't have an existing support figure who meets the criteria, the agency can provide one. This placement has been overseen primarily by Aou. He's familiar with your evaluation and the child’s profile and has already established a dynamic with you. He's qualified to act as a facilitator under this policy.”
OR: Boom adopts Ceri. Aou is assigned by the agency to co-parent for the first year. Feelings ensue.
