SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for a one-
time study to examine familial outcomes 8 or more years after a child's
adoption from the child welfare system. The primary objective of this
study is to estimate the prevalence of instability events that occur in
families who have adopted children who have exited the foster care
system. The second objective is to understand risk and protective
factors associated with post adoption instability.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB is required to
make a decision concerning the collection of information between 30 and

information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular

surveys with adopted youth, young adults, and adults as well as
adoptive parents who were participants in the first or second cohort of

collect information about instability events (such as foster care re-
entry or running away that occurred after a child's adoption) as well
as family functioning, perceptions of the adoption relationship, and
services and support received after adoption.
Respondents: Adopted youth, young adults, adults, and their
