held until at least ten days after receipt of the notice of the pending proceedings by the parent or Indian custodian and the tribe or the Secretary of the Interior. a. The Court must be satisfied that placement/TPR is the last resort after all active efforts to maintain the child at home have failed. b. For involuntary placement, in compliance with the ICWA, DCYF must prove with clear and convincing evidence, based on the testimony of expert witnesses that further care by the parent would result in serious emotional or physical damage to the child. c. For a TPR, in compliance with the ICWA, a determination must be made supported by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, including testimony of a qualified witness, that the continued custody of the child by the parent or Indian custodian is likely to result in serious emotional or physical damage to the child. 3. DCYF makes every attempt to locate and engage absent parents and paternal relatives as critical partners in meeting the permanency needs of Indian children and youth. If a putative father notifies the Department that he may be the father of a child in care, steps must be taken to determine paternity (refer to Policy: 1100.0000, Obtaining Custody of Child Through the Dependent/Neglected/Abused Petition). C. Emergency Placement: 1. If an Indian child is at risk of physical harm, he/she may be removed from the home on an emergency basis for his/her protection (refer to Policy: 500.0075, Removal of Child from Home). 2. As soon as the child is placed, the procedures regarding the placement of an Indian child must be followed (refer to RICHIST Window Help: Indian Child Welfare Checklist Window). D. Placement of an Indian Child in a Placement Resource or Pre-adoptive Home 1. Selection of a Placement Resource - Placement Unit staff attempt to find a placement within a reasonable distance of the child's home and in the least restrictive environment to meet the special needs of the identified Indian child: a. The Placement Unit's search for and selection of the placement occurs in conjunction with the tribe's representative in the following order of preference: 89
i. A member of the Indian child's extended family ii. A foster home licensed, approved or specified by the Indian child's tribe iii. An Indian foster home licensed or approved by an authorized non Indian licensing authority iv. An institution for children approved by an Indian tribe or operated by an Indian organization that has a program suitable to meet the Indian child’s needs b. Deviation from the order of preference is made only when the Department can show good cause for such deviation and a final determination is made by the Family/Tribal Court. 2. Selection of an Adoptive Home a. The search for and selection of the home occurs in conjunction with the tribe's representative in the following order of preference: i. A member of the Indian child's extended family ii. Other members of the Indian child's tribe iii. Other Indian family iv. Non Indian family b. Deviation from the order of preference is made only when the Department can show good cause for such deviation and a final determination is made by the Family/Tribal Court. 90
