Why did we develop the Adoption & Child Welfare LawSite?
The Adoption & Child Welfare LawSite, which is entirely devoted to the law, policy, and processes associated with child protection and adoption systems, is intended to aid in NCALPs mission of supporting and participating in systemic reform to assure that kids who are involved with these systems may be reunified with their families or, when that is not possible, be permanently placed in safe and healthy homes as quickly, and with as little trauma, as possible. Ironically, the body of law regulating child protection and adoption can, in itself, present a barrier to the quick and safe placement of children into permanent homes. Each state has its own child welfare laws and procedures, which increase in complexity each year. To further complicate the process, there currently is no single repository of key statutes, regulations, cases and explanatory law review articles on child welfare and adoption laws. The Adoption & Child Welfare LawSite seeks to fill this void with materials suitable
