The agency which placed the child for adoption is designated as the representative of the department. It has the responsibility to report promptly to the department any changes in the condition of the child or the adoptive parents which could affect the terms of the subsidy agreement. By written agreement between the department and the placing agency, when placement is not made by the department, the department shall assume direct responsibility for ascertaining continuing eligibility for the adoption subsidy.
