NDACAN Measure Details
Contact After Adoption or Guardianship: Child Welfare Agency and Family Interactions: Adoption
Description:
The types of questions we ask include the nature of contact between child welfare agency and adoptive families (e.g., do families call a general hotline or call a specific type of worker?). We also ask if the child welfare agency regularly contacts families (e.g., through newsletters or mailings). Finally, we ask if the child welfare agency track any information about children who exit foster care to adoption, including information about children who reenter foster care after adoption. In sum, we seek to understand both the nature of contact between adoptive families and child welfare agency and the tracking systems (if any) associated with this contact.
