MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
for
FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE FAMILY REQUIREMENTS
Between Project 1.27 and Weld County ("Agency")
This agreement is to establish the requirements of the precertification process for foster and/or adoptive families with the
Project 1.27 ministry and the above named Agency. Project 1.27's application and training program are designed to
qualify families to provide foster care or adoption services. The information in this agreement will be made available to
applicable county workers and Project 1.27 families. Parties agree to:
1. Orientations: For the purposes of standardized foster and adoption qualification, it is agreed that Project 1.27
Parent Orientations meets all requirements of the State and the Agency.
2. Foster and Adoptive Parent Training: In compliance with the Colorado Child Welfare Practice Handbook, all
competencies for foster and adoptive parent certification will be met. At a minimum, each Project 1.27 family
will complete the following training prior to endorsement by Project 1.27 and certification by the Agency:
Hours
1)
Project 1.27 Parent Orientation
2.0
2)
Foster Parent Core Curriculum
12.0
3)
Project 1.27 Core Curriculum
12.0
4)
Support Team Training
4.0
5)
CPR/First Aid
8.0
Total 38.0
Project 1.27 training will be conducted in a church host facility and may also be monitored by the Agency. This
training qualifies and meets all requirements of the State of Colorado and said Agency for the purpose of foster
care certification and the adoption of children moving towards adoption.
3. Family's Transition to the Agency: The Project 1.27 office will assemble packets that include the application
material and training certificates and endorse the packet's completeness with a letter on Project 1.27 letterhead.
Families without this letter will not be recognized as a Project 1.27 family. Project 1.27 families will then submit
their packets to their respective Agency with the intent of a six (6) month commitment to that Agency after their
home study is completed. The Agency may require screening interviews prior to receiving the family packet for
processing. After the six (6) month time period, if not satisfied, the family may elect to transfer their paperwork
to a Colorado county or to a Child Placement Agency (CPA) with the full cooperation of the original Agency.
4. Home Study Charges: Project 1.27 families will not be charged for their home studies when performed by the
Agency or an independent contractor retained by the Agency. If a Project 1.27 family requests that their home
study be transferred to another Agency prior to the original Agency's contractual time frame, the Project 1.27
family may be required to pay the original Agency for the home study.
5. Child Placement Process: An approved home study does not guarantee placement of a specific child or any
child. The goal of the Agency is to make the best match for each child. That decision is made by the Department
of Human Services (DHS) Agency staff, attorneys and ultimately, the Court.
6. Information Sharing: It is agreed that Project 1.27 families and our staff can share limited case information in
the process of recruitment and the provision of on -going support.
7. This agreement shall be effective November 1, 2021 and shall expire October 31, 2022.
