Adoption last resort in abuse cases
Linda Wheeler of Clermont County Children's Services says adoption is not a tool to fill adoptive lists but a last resort. If parents fail to improve after foster care and permanent custody is granted, the child must find an adoptive home within 90 days or be placed with Ohio Adoption Resource. The county has placed nearly all 1983 adoptive cases, with services continuing after placement and no charge for services though legal costs fall to the adoptive parents.
