Better Support for Adoptive Families: Monitoring Post-Adoption Services.

This law requires the government to collect data on children who re-enter foster care after adoption and to assess the availability and effectiveness of support services provided to adoptive families. The goal is to identify gaps in the system and ensure that families adopting children from foster care receive the necessary assistance to make adoptions successful and permanent. This information will be used to better target public investments and improve the quality of life for adopted children.
Key points
The government will gather data to understand why some foster care adoptions fail (the child returns to the care system).
A report will evaluate what support services (e.g., therapy, counseling) are available to adoptive families in each state and how they are funded.
This information will be used to better target public investments and improve outcomes for adopted children and their families.
