What does ASFA emphasize?

Finalizing adoption within 6 months
Moving children towards permanency as quickly as possible
Extending foster care to 21 years of age
Increasing the number of foster homes

The correct answer is: Moving children towards permanency as quickly as possible

ASFA, or the Adoption and Safe Families Act, was passed in 1997 with the goal of prioritizing the well-being and stability of children in the foster care system. While all of the options may align with this goal to some extent, ASFA specifically emphasizes moving children towards permanency as quickly as possible. This means that efforts should be made to successfully reunite children with their birth families, and if that is not possible, to find them a permanent, stable home through adoption or guardianship. While finalizing adoptions within 6 months and increasing the number of foster homes may also contribute to this, ASFA places a higher emphasis on permanency and stability for children in the foster care system. Extending foster care to 21 years of age is not mentioned in ASFA and is not a priority in the act.
