Wisconsin Order for Post-Termination of Parental Rights Change in Placement (OPTIC) is a court order that allows for a child to be placed in a new home after the termination of parental rights. There are two types of OPTIC: permanent placement and temporary placement. Permanent placement involves an adoption or guardianship of the child, where the child’s legal status is changed and the new parent has legal responsibility for the child’s care and well-being. Temporary placement involves the child being placed with a foster family or in a residential care facility while the court considers other options for the child’s long-term placement. In both cases, the court will order a social worker to provide services to the family, the child, and the new parent or placement provider. These services may include counseling, advocacy, and help with locating services in the community. The court may also order that the new parent or placement provider attend training, complete a Home Study, and/or receive an evaluation of the child’s needs. The court must also consider the wishes of the child before making a decision on placement.
