This book, produced by the Center's National Child Welfare Resource Center on Legal and Judicial Issues, consists of issue-by-issue summaries and analyses of important, and comprehensive, regulations of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) promulgated in 2000 to aid state and local implementation of Titles IV-B and IV-E of the Social Security Act, as amended by the 1997 federal Adoption and Safe Families Act. Twenty separate topics are addressed, such as reasonable efforts findings, judicial orders specifying a child's placement, foster/adoptive home safety requirements, permanency hearings, termination of parental rights, the Multi-Ethnic Placement Act, etc. Appendix material addresses key administrative and constitutional law issues related to interpretation and application of the regulations, including its preamble. Supporting legal authorities and a list of further readings are included. This book was produced through the work of 11 staff from throughout the Center reviewing the HHS regulations and writing various sections of the summary/analysis.
