responsibility for care and placement of a child in foster care shall have been explicitly
imposed on the social services official by court order.

family, the head of the household shall sign.

individual, such individual shall sign.
(4) In any case where the applicant, whose
signature is required, is incapable of signing the application because of physical
incapabilities, or mental incompetency, the application shall be signed on behalf of such
person by his authorized representative.
