Every licensee shall: 1. Keep a full record and social history of each child received for placement and a similar record and history of the licensee's family. 2. Report to the department of health and human services: a. The name and address of each child to be placed in a foster or an adoptive home; b. The name and address of the proposed foster or adoptive parents; and c. Any other facts and information as requested by the department. 3. Visit the proposed foster or adoptive home at frequent intervals and make all necessary inquiries and investigations as may be necessary to determine whether the child will become properly adjusted in the home. 4. Continue to visit and supervise each placement as often as may be required by the department and report in writing to the department the conditions as ascertained by a visit.
50-12-07.1. Objection to placement for religious or moral convictions or policies - Effect. A child-placing agency is not required to perform, assist, counsel, recommend, facilitate, refer, or participate in a placement that violates the agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies. A state or local government entity may not deny a child-placing agency any grant, contract, or participation in a government program because of the child-placing agency's objection to performing, assisting, counseling, recommending, facilitating, referring, or participating in a placement that violates the child-placing agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies. Refusal by a child-placing agency to perform, assist, counsel, recommend, facilitate, refer, or participate in a placement that violates the child-placing agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies does not constitute a determination that the proposed adoption is not in the best interest of the minor.
50-12-08. Child must be placed in suitable home - Human service zone may remove child. A child may not be placed in any foster or adoptive home until adequate investigation has been made as to the suitability of the proposed foster or adoptive parents and their home surroundings. When the human service zone is satisfied that a child has been placed in an unsuitable home, the human service zone shall order the child-placing agency, in writing, to remove the child and place the child in a home that meets the approval of the human service zone. If within a reasonable period of time it appears that suitable arrangements have not been made for the care of the child, the human service zone shall make immediate arrangements for the care and support of the child. If the child has no legal settlement within the state, or in case of a dispute as to the determination of the child's legal settlement or responsibility for the child's support, the child must be brought before the juvenile court as a dependent child in the county in which the child is found, as provided by law.
