How does a Choctaw family become eligible to adopt a Choctaw child if the family lives outside the Choctaw Nation Service Area, or lives out of state?
If you are a Choctaw family interested in adopting or fostering a Choctaw child and live outside the Choctaw Nation 10 ½ counties service area in or out of state, there is some information your family needs to know to have a better understanding of how the process works. The Adoption/Foster Care program has developed procedures specifically related to this matter. There is a certification process for adoption and fostering that results in a home study evaluation. A home study is required to adopt or foster Choctaw children. The home study along with a resource application and a copy of your CDIB and/or Membership is required to be on file in our office. Your home study is reviewed by the adoption/foster care specialist and state workers when choosing a placement for a Choctaw child. Since your family resides outside the Choctaw Nation service area, the CFS Adoption/Foster care Specialist cannot perform the home study however there are a few options for obtaining the essential home stud
