Bill overview
This bill, the National Adoption and Foster Care Home Study Act, aims to standardize and improve the process of evaluating prospective foster and adoptive parents. It directs the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a research-based, uniform home study methodology and provide grants to states and tribes to implement it. The methodology includes specific data collection tools like standardized questionnaires, a rating system, and practitioner guidance, along with ongoing training for home study personnel. The bill also establishes a national database to track home study reports and evaluate the effectiveness of the new process.
