Foster Care Adoption Oversight and Support Act
This bill requires the HHS Secretary to produce a report within 18 months of enactment about children who re-enter foster care after adoption or legal guardianship was finalized. The report will analyze data on adoption disruptions (including factors like pre/post-adoption services and child age) using existing systems like AFCARS, and detail state-level post-adoption services - covering their evidence-based status, availability, and funding sources like the Promoting Safe and Stable Families program. It directly affects children who experience disrupted adoptions and the states providing post-adoption support services. The report aims to inform Congress about gaps in oversight and support systems for these families.
