      when the parent, guardian, or custodian of a child with mental
      retardation or other developmental disability requests placement of
      the child in foster family care for a period of more than thirty
      days.  The oversight shall be provided through review of the
      placement every six months by the department's foster care review
      committees or by a local citizen foster care review board.  Court
      oversight shall be provided prior to the initial placement and at
      periodic intervals which shall not exceed twelve months.  It is the
