1. The Division shall establish a Register of Children with Special Needs. The Register must include descriptive information on every child with special needs for whom a prospective adoptive parent is not identified within 3 months after the child becomes available for adoption, but must not include any personal information which reveals the identity of the child or the child s parents. A copy of the Register must be made available for review by prospective adoptive parents at each office of the Division.
2. As used in this section, child with special needs means a child for whom placement with an adoptive parent is, in the opinion of the Administrator of the Division or his or her designee, made more difficult because of the child s age, race or number of siblings, or because the child suffers from a severe or chronic medical, physical, mental or emotional condition.
