Do "Reasonable Efforts" Require Cultural Competence? The Importance of Culturally Competent Reunification Services in the California Child Welfare System |
5 Hastings Race and Poverty Law Journal 397 (Summer 2008) |
With the enactment of the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA), the American child welfare system prioritized permanence. The ASFA sets a rigid time frame for attempts at family reunification and non-compliance with this time frame can result in the termination of parental rights. The ASFA approach moves away from the presumption that; Search Snippet: ...cultural community's children.

After two years of heated litigation, settling Christian Good Bird's contested adoption outside of the courtroom must have relieved his biological mother, tribe and adoptive parents, but the decision almost certainly generated feelings of uncertainty about what long-term effects the compromise would have on Christian as well.

The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) affords various protections to Indian families throughout child welfare proceedings. Among them is the duty imposed upon the state to provide rehabilitative services to families prior to the outplacement of an Indian child, or termination of parental rights.

Before the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), Arizonans of Hispanic, American Indian, African-American and Asian heritage were the victims of discrimination in virtually every area of their social and political lives.
