MOTION TO WAIVE FAMILY ASSESSMENT/HOME STUDY
The Petitioner(s) respectfully request that the Court waive the requirement of a family assessment/home study and approval pursuant to §19-5-206(2)(c), C.R.S., as amended, and as grounds therefore, state as follows:

1. Section 19-5-206(2)(c), C.R.S., as amended, provides that the Court may waive the assessment and approval
of the potential adoptive parent(s) in cases involving kinship or custodial adoption or may determine and order what kind of information or written report it deems necessary, including an abbreviated home study or home evaluation. The Court may proceed to finalize such adoptive placement upon finding that the placement is in the best interests of the child.

2. The child has been in the physical custody of the Petitioner(s) for over one year. 3. A home study or other assessment and approval in this case is unnecessary because:
