Common use of ADDITIONAL CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES Clause in Contracts

ADDITIONAL CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES. The Client is solely responsible for complying with all post-placement and post- adoption requirements, including those of CAS, of the sending country, and of the Client’s state of residence and other applicable jurisdictions. The Client agrees to accept post-placement and post-adoption supervision, complete the minimum three post-adoption visits and reports with the social worker, and comply with any and all additional supervision requirements set by the state and the foreign country, such as submitting family reports and photos. At the recommendation of CAS and based on the assessed needs of the child and family, the Client agrees to meet with their social worker for additional post-placement or post-adoption visits at their expense. At the time of receiving a referral, the Client will receive a Post-Placement/Post-Adoption Agreement as a part of the Referral Acceptance Packet. This agreement will outline the total number of CAS-required visits and Country Reports visits. Fees associated with the reports, the post-adoption administrative cost, as well as a required deposit, will be set at the presiding rate at time of referral. Fees are based on a per child rate. The Client agrees to be responsible for the costs and fees incurred for the visits and post-placement and post-adoption administration, including without limitation any translation fees and shipping fees related to sending the reports to the child’s country of origin, whether such services are provided by CAS or a cooperating or approved agency. Fees are subject to change. Should there be an increase in the fee for visits and post-placement or post-adoption administration between the point of payment and the time in which services are rendered, the Client agrees to be responsible for the difference. The Client agrees the Country Report deposit will only be refunded if the Country Reports are completed and submitted in a timely manner. The Client agrees the Country Report deposits will be considered non-refundable if any one report is more than 3 weeks late or if 3 or more reports are late. The Client must provide the social worker performing the post-placement and post-adoption services with reasonable access to the Client’s home and family during normal working hours, even if this requires the Client to take time off from work.
