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.
