110 CMR, § 7.113C
Foster/pre-adoptive homes may be closed either at the request of the foster/pre-adoptive parent or as a result of a decision by the Department. The basis and process for decisions by the Department are set forth above in 110 CMR 7.113 through 7.113B. Whenever a foster/pre-adoptive parent requests that their foster/pre-adoptive home be closed they shall do so in writing. Prior to closing the home, the Department will meet with the foster/pre-adoptive parent to discuss the reasons for closing the home, plans to remove any foster child(ren) placed in the home and to establish dates for the removal of the foster child(ren) and the closure of the home. The Department will confirm in writing the decisions agreed upon at that meeting, the reasons for those decisions, and provide a copy to the foster/pre-adoptive parent.
