Responsibilities of AP. If AP resides outside of Oregon or a state served by a Xxxx branch, AP must initiate the adoption study process by selecting and contacting a cooperating agency from the names provided by Xxxx or otherwise approved by Xxxx. When the adoption study is prepared by an agency other than Xxxx, XX is responsible for obtaining an adoption study that satisfies Xxxx’x reasonable social work or child welfare concerns as well as adoption study requirements of the sending country, AP’s state, applicable Hague Convention requirements, and the requirements of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). AP is solely responsible for paying all costs and fees associated with the adoption study, whether conducted by Xxxx or by a cooperating or approved agency. If Xxxx determines that, for any reason –– including but not limited to a significant change in AP’s circumstances, or a change in required adoption study qualifications or reporting formats –– an update, amendment or addendum is required to any adoption study report, AP is responsible for obtaining, paying for, and transmitting to Xxxx such update, amendment or addendum. Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may result in suspension or termination of the adoption study process and/or of this agreement.
Responsibilities of AP. AP is solely responsible for complying with all post-placement and post-adoption requirements, including those of Xxxx, of the sending country, and of AP’s home state and any other applicable jurisdiction. AP must arrange, fulfill, and pay for all costs and fees associated with post-placement and post-adoption requirements. As with the home study, AP must provide the social worker performing the post-placement and post-adoption services with reasonable access to AP’s home and family during normal working hours, even if this requires AP to take time off from work. If AP resides outside of Oregon or a state in which a Xxxx branch office is located, all post-placement services must be provided by a cooperating agency. AP is responsible for ensuring that all post-placement and post-adoption reports are provided to Xxxx in a timely manner. Upon reasonable request by Xxxx, or by any cooperating agency, overseas orphanage, or relevant foreign government official, AP must provide photographs and written reports regarding the child and its development.
