Private child-caring agencies, in placing children in private families, shall:
(1) Safeguard the welfare of the children by the thorough investigation of each applicant and home and its environment;
(2) Carefully select the child to suit the new relationship and location;
(3) Personally and adequately supervise each home and child until the latter returns to the direct care of the agency or, if permanently placed, receives legal adoption or attains legal age; and
(4) So far as practicable, place such children in families of the same religious faith as that held by the children or their parents. [Formerly 419.132; 1983 c.510 §12; 2003 c.14 §218]
