5 th Quarter Report: Achieved. The automated Foster Care and Adoption Recruitment and Reporting System is a welcome change
from the manual completion of the annual and Quarterly Recruitment Plans by counties. Counties have completed their first quarter of
online reporting and are currently inputting data for the next quarter. The DHR IT is currently working on the next stage of this
project, which will allow the state to generate reports on a quarterly and annual basis. The program currently has the capacity to
identify counties that have not submitted reports by the due date. Delinquent notices were sent out to about ten of the 159 county
directors during the first reporting period. The state will use this data at the end of the SFY 04 to publish statewide recruitment and
retention outcomes for resource families who foster and adopt. This publication will provide profiles of regional needs,
accomplishments and outcomes for families who inquire to adopt. The report will also provide information regarding placement needs
and available resources.
5 th Quarter DOCUMENTATION:
