Adoption Assistance. When a child is legally free for adoption or meets the Tribe’s custom (customary) adoption rules or policy, the Tribal caseworker shall notify the DSHS/CA worker, who will refer the case for review to determine if adoption assistance is appropriate. The adoption assistance payments are made directly to the adoptive parent and not through the Tribe’s child welfare program.
