Abstract:
"This resource by leaders in child welfare is the first book to reflect the impact of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997. The text serves as a reference for a wide array of professionals who work in children, youth, and family services in the United States and as a text for students of child welfare practice and policy."--BOOK JACKET.
