Oregon Revised Statutes Human Services; Juvenile Code; Corrections § 419B.349

(1) Commitment of a child or ward to the Department of Human Services does not terminate the court's continuing jurisdiction to protect the rights of the child or ward or the child or ward's parents or guardians. Notwithstanding ORS 419B.337 (5), if upon review of a placement or proposed placement of a child or ward made or to be made by the department the court determines that the placement or proposed placement is not in the best interest of the child or ward, the court may direct the department to place or maintain the child or ward in the care of the child or ward's parents, in foster care with a foster care provider who is a relative, in foster care with a foster care provider who is or has been a current caretaker for the child, in foster care with a foster care provider who is not a relative or current caretaker, in residential care, in group care or in some other specific type of residential placement, but unless otherwise required by law, the court may not direct a specific placement. The actual planning and placement of the child or ward is the responsibility of the department. Nothing in this subsection affects any contractual right of an individual or a private agency to refuse or terminate a placement.

(2) The court may not exercise its discretion to direct the department to place or maintain a child or ward where the effect of the direction will be to remove the child or ward from, or prevent the placement of the child or ward with, a person described in ORS 419B.440 (2)(c).
