WHEN TO USE IT
This form is used to record the medical history of the birth parent(s) and relatives of a child to be adopted. The form also records the child's birth history information, immunization record, special medical examinations/diagnoses and psychological evaluations/diagnoses.
HOW TO USE IT
Complete the English version of the form in the NJ SPIRIT (NJS) application only, by accessing it through the NJS Desktop > Create > Casework > Medical/Mental Health > drop-down selection.
After completing the English CP&P Form 14-177 in NJS, complete the Spanish version by hand, when needed to give to an adoptive parent whose preferred language is Spanish.
Only complete the English form outside of NJS application as part of a contingency plan when the application is unavailable. However, in doing so, you are still required to create the form in NJS when the application becomes available.
TIPS FOR COMPLETING THE FORM
· Identifying information is prefilled on the form, based on the case and case participants selected.
