Book Synopsis Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 by : Veronica Haro
Download or read book Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 written by Veronica Haro and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the Adoption and Safe Families Act's (ASFA) impact of defined timelines on parents, foster/adoption system and children. This study evaluated both overt and covert objectives of the time frames set by ASFA. Since the implementation of ASFA, findings have found that more children in foster care have achieved permanency through adoption. There is a quick turnaround of termination of parental rights due to set time frames for reunification. ASFA's goal of permanency by limiting time frames of reunification has created difficulties for parents to reunify with their children; in turn, most children who are not adopted are left to linger in the foster care system. Differences in circumstances of each family and children in foster care should be considered when implementing time frames. These families often need time to resolve the issues that brought them into the child welfare system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to conduct an in-depth analysis of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997. ASFA's aim was to decrease the number of children in foster care as well as their duration of stay by promoting permanency via adoption. A review of the scholarly literature is provided to place ASFA within the historical context of foster care and the child welfare system. The results of this study indicate that while the number of adoptions have increased, so have the number of children waiting to be adopted and who continue to linger in care. ASFA has also created unintended consequences for children and families of color and who are in poverty. Limitations to the study as well as implications for social work policy and practice are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to conduct an analysis of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997. ASFA's goal was to decrease the number of children in foster care and the long lengths of stay children were spending in foster care by promoting permanency via adoption for those children who are unable to reunify with their parents. A modified version of David Gil's model and methodology for social policy analysis was utilized to analyze this legislation. The results of this study revealed that while the number of adoptions increased following the enactment of ASFA, the number of children waiting to be adopted also increased. On average, children who have been legally freed for adoption spend 23.6 months in foster care, waiting to be adopted. ASFA has failed to take into account the underlying issues that many families face, such as mental health, substance abuse, and poverty issues, and their impact on the parents' ability to reunify with their children within the set time frames. Intended and unintended consequences, as well as implications for social work policy and practice, are discussed.
Book Synopsis Nobody's Children by : Elizabeth Bartholet
Download or read book Nobody's Children written by Elizabeth Bartholet and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2000-11-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobody's Children is an intense look at child welfare policies on abuse and neglect, foster care, and adoption. Elizabeth Bartholet, one of the nation's leading experts on family law, challenges the accepted orthodoxy that treats children as belonging to their kinship and their racial groups and that locks them into inadequate biological and foster homes. She asks us to apply the lessons learned from the battered women's movement as we look at battered children, and to question why family preservation ideology still reigns supreme when children rather than adult women are involved. Bartholet asks us to take seriously the adoption option. She calls on the entire community to take responsibility for its children, to think of the children at risk of abuse and neglect as belonging to all of us, and to ensure that "Nobody's Children" become treasured members of somebody's family.

Download or read book The Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997 written by Lesley J. Karnes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to perform a comprehensive analysis of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997. ASFA aimed to promote permanency for children in the foster care system through the utilization of adoption. By promoting adoption, ASFA hoped to lower the number of children in the foster care system and shorten the length of their stay. A review of academic literature is presented in order to provide an historical context for ASFA's implementation within the child welfare system, and David Gil's framework is utilized in the analysis of ASFA. The outcome of this study reveals that the number of completed adoptions has increased. However, the number of children awaiting adoption continues to be higher than the number of completed adoptions, and children continue to spend long periods of time in out-of-home care. In addition, ASFA has had unintended consequences on parties involved in the child welfare system, particularly families of color.

Book Synopsis Attachment and Bonding in the Foster and Adopted Child by : James Andrew Kenny
Download or read book Attachment and Bonding in the Foster and Adopted Child written by James Andrew Kenny and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple placements, delay in achieving deadlines, and emancipation have increased the burdens on already vulnerable foster children. The child welfare and court systems, despite good laws and policies, have generally failed to provide children with permanent homes in a developmentally timely manner. Ignorance of the nature and critical importance of bonding is a major cause of this lack of success. Attachment and bonding are words that have been used loosely to describe a variety of personal relationships, beginning with the theories of Bowlby and Ainsworth. Bonding is defined in practical and objective terms that are research-based. It is important and significant because its disruption can lead to significant increases in mental illness, crime, and homelessness. An overwhelming number of statistical studies have documented and affirmed this. Readers will learn how to perform a bonding evaluation and how to present the findings in court. The roles of the birth parent, foster parent, adoptive parent, child, case manager, mental health professional, attorneys, and the court are all considered for their part in achieving permanence for children in temporary care. Finally, the authors share innovative recommendations about ways to improve the system and reduce time in foster care. Every child has the right to a permanent home.
