This report reviews progress made by the District of Columbia Superior Court Family Court, the Child and Family Services Agency, and others to bring the District into compliance with the federal and local Adoption and Safe Families Acts. The goal of these acts is to reduce the amount of time abused and neglected children spend in foster care. The report finds reasons for optimism, but cautions that it will take more time and continued community effort. This second report is more comprehensive than the first and shows some improvement in the length of stay in foster care for some D.C. children.

As the director of the District of Columbia's Child and Family Services Agency, Olivia Golden led reform of a system in federal receivership. Now, in Reforming Child Welfare, she uses her expertise as an administrator, an academic, and an advocate to pinpoint the factors that lead to success. "Writing from the inside," she maintains, "makes it possible to analyze, in retrospect, what we thought we were doing, what it felt like, and what led us to good or bad choices." By sharing her personal story, along with her analysis of the research literature and two other case studies in Alabama and Utah, Golden finds fresh insight on improving outcomes for imperiled children and families.
