When to Update


In order to keep the Adoption Listing Service accurate, it is important that every child's listing be updated annually. All updates should include:

  • a new Listing Eligibility ALS-1a form icon to ensure child is still appropriate for ALS.
  • a new completed Child Registration ALS-1 form.icon
  • guardian consent, unless previously submitted.
  • a photo for children with termination of parental rights (TPR). If the photo was taken by a professional photographer, then you may need to complete an ALS-6 form. icon
  • a signed CFS-600-3 form icon for children 12 years of age and older, unless previously submitted.

See Adoption Listing Steps for detailed instructions on completing these forms. If you have additional questions about updating a child's listing, please call the AICI Recruitment Coordinator at 312-462-7242.
