A more thorough explanation:

Definition: ASFA stands for Adoption and Safe Families Act.

Explanation: The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) is a federal law that was passed in 1997. Its purpose is to promote the safety, permanency, and well-being of children in foster care. ASFA requires states to make reasonable efforts to reunite children with their families, but also sets strict timelines for when children must be placed in permanent homes if they cannot be safely reunited with their families.

Example: For example, if a child has been in foster care for 15 out of the last 22 months, ASFA requires the state to file a petition to terminate parental rights and find a permanent home for the child. This is to ensure that children do not languish in foster care for years without a stable home.

Explanation: This example illustrates how ASFA sets strict timelines for when children must be placed in permanent homes. It ensures that children are not left in foster care for extended periods of time without a stable home. This law helps to promote the safety and well-being of children in foster care by prioritizing their need for a permanent home.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
