G.   Adoption and Safe Families Act (2000)(ASFA)

---

Pub. L. 105-89 (1997).

To promote the adoption of children in foster care, Congress enacted the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA).

45 C.F.R. § 1355.34(b)(1)(iii)(B).

States must undergo child and family service reviews (CFSR) in the child welfare system. One well-being outcome to measure performance of a state is whether “[c]hildren receive appropriate services to meet their educational needs.”

McNaught, supra note 78 at 2.

If states do not achieve these outcomes, they risk losing federal funding.
