Adoptions <strong>and</strong> Safe Families<br />
Act (ASFA)<br />
• ASFA was passed into law by Congress in 1997.<br />
• Congress was concerned over the length of time children<br />
were living in foster care<br />
• ASFA requires that the courts begin the process to<br />
terminate the parental rights of parents who have had<br />
children in foster care <strong>for</strong> 15 months out of the last 22<br />
months.<br />
• If a parent is in treatment <strong>for</strong> alcohol or drug abuse, they<br />
might not lose their parental rights if they stay in treatment,<br />
attend all court dates <strong>and</strong> show a desire/capcity<br />
to be<br />
reunited with their children.
