Subject: effects of welfare reform
I am looking for resources about the possible impact of welfare reform
on child abuse and neglect, foster care, and adoption. One specific
area in which I am interested is whether foster care has become or is
becoming the safety net as TANF payments end for families, as had been
initially predicted. I am interested in both studies that have been
done in these areas and in any available data sets that might have some
information about this.
