To verify a foster-adoptive home, which statement is true?

• A. You must follow all rules for verifying a foster home and for approving an adoptive home, and you may combine the foster home screening and pre-adoptive home screening into one screening report as long as requirements for each screening are covered.
• B. You may combine foster and pre-adoptive screenings into one report even if requirements for each screening are not covered.
• C. Screening is optional if the home is known to be good.
• D. You must perform separate screenings with no combination.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that you must meet all requirements for both foster-home verification and pre-adoptive screening, and you can combine them into one screening report as long as each set of requirements is fully covered. This approach keeps the process efficient by consolidating documents, while still ensuring every aspect of both screenings is documented and compliant. So you’d create a single report that includes evidence and elements needed for both the foster verification and the adoptive screening, with no gaps in either set of requirements. The other options don’t fit because they either skip necessary requirements, treat screening as optional, or insist on separate reports when a single combined report is allowed as long as both screenings are fully addressed.
