The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeks approval for a one-time study to examine familial outcomes 8 or more years after a childâs adoption from the child welfare system. The primary objective of this study design is to understand the extent of post adoption instability events that occur in families who have adopted children who have exited the foster care system. Post adoption instability refers to situations in which children who exit foster care to adoptive homes no longer reside with their adoptive parents and includes formal events, such as a childâs reentry into the foster care system, or informal events, such as a child going to live with a grandparent or running away. A second objective is to understand risk and protective factors associated with post adoption instability. The study will conduct web or telephone surveys with adopted youth, young adults, and adults as well as their adoptive parents who were participants in the first or second cohort of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW I, II; OMB #0970-0202).
In March 2021, OMB approved nonsubstantive changes to the study instruments based on pretesting. Following approval of the updated instruments, the project team prepared the NSCAW I and II respondent sample files, conducted a preliminary batch tracing effort to update contact information for identified respondents, and drafted systems programming scripts (telephone/email) to assist in data collection. The study also underwent a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) review process, which identified areas where wording could be more clearly specified in respondent consent (adoptive parent and adopted adult), child assent, lead letters and fact sheets. Finally, the study developed a study-specific email address and has experienced a change to the primary ACF project officer.
