The longitudinal study examines the relationship between poverty rate changes and changes in the placement of Blac…
Adoption Dynamics and the Adoption and Safe Families Act
This article evaluates the effects of the federal Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA) on the adoption process. Using a cohort sequential design, the article studies 13 successive entry cohorts of children admitted to foster care in six states from 1990 to 2002. The results of discrete‐time hazard models indicate that a significant increase in the probability of adoption occurs after the passage of ASFA. However, the analyses find no fir…
