Summary:

The 105th Congress is considering legislation intended to promote adoption for foster children who are unable to return home, and to make general improvements in the nation's child welfare system. The legislation responds to concerns that children are remaining in foster care unnecessarily long, that their adoption rate is low, and that additional safeguards are needed to ensure the safety of children.
