"The major provisions of the legislation would promote adoption by: allowing States to define cases of severe abuse or neglect in which States could move more quickly to adoption; providing for earlier permanency hearings; allowing foster parents to be heard at hearings and reviews; requiring States to move toward adoption in many cases in which children have been in foster care for 18 months; allowing States to use a large federal data base to locate fathers for purposes of notifying them of an impending proceeding to terminate parental rights; providing funds to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to help States implement the new procedures to promote adoption; and providing cash bonuses to States that increase the number of adoptions of children in foster care"--Page 2.

President Clinton signed the Adoption and Safe Families Act into law on November 19, 1997, after the House and Senate approved final versions of the legislation on November 13. The new law (P.L. 105-89) is intended to promote adoption or other permanent arrangements for foster children who are unable to return home, and to make general improvements in the nationâ€TMs 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 their safety. The House initially passed legislation (H.R. 867) on April 30 by a vote of 416-5, and the Senate passed an amended version on November 8. A compromise version was passed on November 13, by a vote of 406-7 in the House and by unanimous consent in the Senate. This report discusses the final version of the legislation, as enacted into law.
