India Post Placement Report
Requirements
Post Placement Report compliance has a significant impact on intercountry adoption in each of the countries we partner with. It is very important to the officials overseas to know the children placed with U.S. families are well taken care of, loved, and that families are receiving appropriate support.
Post Placement Report Information:
Packages containing completed Post Placement reports are mailed overseas each Friday. Please let us know if the report/photos will be delayed so we can provide this information to the country, if needed.
Frequency: After your child's arrival to the U.S., each report needs to be completed as per the countries reporting sequence dictates, see below. If additional reports are required by your state, please provide those to us as well.
Post Placement Photo Requirements:
Photos to submit:
Please include a variety of photos with family (or friends), not just photos of your child alone. Include both parents (if not within the same photo, then one-on-one with the adoptee).
Please choose photographs that highlight your child and the family enjoying routine activities or special events. (Example: Going to school, eating breakfast, or going to the aquarium, family camping trip, etc.)
We suggest that the photos show your child content and dressed appropriately (Example: warmly dressed if the environment looks cold, etc.)
Important: Select in focus photos of your child, and they need to be large enough to see your child's face.
Photos NOT to submit: Please note that photos are going to a foreign government with different cultural norms. We ask that you take this into serious consideration when selecting photos.
Anything that obscures your child's face, such as costumes with masks, heavy face paint or messy food faces.
Digital effects (such as sepia tone or other types of color specific filters)
Baggy or ill-fitting clothing, bathing suits or swim shorts.
During bath time, or of the child topless or bare bodied at all.
Holding weapons, toy weapons or hunting photos
