Abstract: This one-time study will examine familial outcomes 8 or more years after a child’s 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 child’s 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). This Information Collection Request is for an extension to collect data. Data collection for this project was delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic constraints on in-person tracing and locating activities. Data collection just started in July of 2021. Consequently, we are requesting a 12-month extension to begin and complete data collection. No changes are proposed to the currently approved instruments or appendices.
