Pt came to us 4/23. Was residing with adoptive parent who is refusing to let her return. Pt turned 18 days before coming to us and is currently her own guardian, hearing for guardianship 4/30, will be a professional guardian agency. Adoptive Mom got custody in July 2025, waited 8 months for the MNchoices, done in Feb, and has since been waiting over 2 months for SMRT in order to get waiver. DD Case Manager (non-waiver) was just assigned 2 weeks ago. We were able to expedite SMRT due to being in the hospital and she is now certified as of 4/30, so moving forward with waiver. Looking for waiver placement, immediate and long term for this individual, perhaps a transition age program. Pt is vulnerable so typically shelters would not be an option. Still in High School currently.
