What Does Reunification Mean?

Reunification is the process by which a family works to have a child returned home after agency involvement or removal.

Meeting the case plan

This often involves completing requirements set by the agency or court, such as services, evaluations, or visitation milestones.

Court review

Progress is typically reviewed periodically by the court, which ultimately decides whether and when reunification occurs.

Reunification is not guaranteed in any case, and outcomes depend entirely on the individual facts and circumstances involved.
