HB 2820 Social services; adoption.

Introduced by: Mary T. Christian | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Social services; adoption. Directs the Department of Social Services to develop and implement a program of transition services for older children in foster care as well as those children age 18-23 who were formerly in foster care to enable them to obtain life skills and education for independent living and employment and to become self-sufficient adults. Such services are not a substitute for continued attempts at placement with adoptive parents for those older children still in foster care, but can occur concurrently. Performance outcome measures must be adopted and the Department must work with other state agencies to maximize the funding for such services and provide interagency cooperation.
