Massachusetts Court Rules|(a) Permanency plan

                                                

The court shall determine the permanency plan for the child or young adult going forward and when that plan will be implemented.

(1) Permanency plan options include: reunification, adoption, guardianship, permanent care with kin, and APPLA.

(2) In determining the permanency plan, the health and safety of the child or young adult shall be of paramount, but not exclusive, concern.

(3) If the child is an Indian child, the court shall determine and document in writing whether the placement preferences required by 25 U.S.C. § 1915 have been applied in any foster care, pre-adoptive, or adoptive placement, unless it determines that good cause exists to not apply those placement preferences.

(4) If the court determines the permanency plan for a child or young adult to be APPLA, the court shall make findings regarding why APPLA is the best permanency plan for the child or young adult and the compelling reasons why it continues to not be in the best interests of the child or young adult to return home, be placed for adoption, be placed with a legal guardian, or be placed with a fit and willing relative.
