Abstract

ABSTRACT Legal and relational permanence have long been viewed as a central outcome of child welfare services. Timely termination of parental rights (TPR) has been a cornerstone of these permanency efforts because TPRs facilitate permanency through adoption. Yet the number of adoption plans that are not finalized or sustained are not trivial. Over 2,000 youth emancipate from foster care each year and many more leave earlier but not before a TPR has occurred. Some states have passed legislation to allow reinstatements of parental rights. This paper reviews the range of factors state legislation includes, reviews scant existing literature on how TPRs may effect youth, and proposes several options for ways that unproductive TPRs can be reduced, and timely reinstatements increased.

恢复被终止的父母权利:为寄养儿童寻找恢复法律联系的方法

长期以来，法律和关系的永久性一直被视为儿童福利服务的核心成果。及时终止父母权利（TPR）是这些永久性努力的基石，因为TPR通过收养促进了永久性。然而，尚未最终确定或维持的收养计划的数量并非微不足道。每年有2000多名青年从寄养中解放出来，还有更多的青年提前离开，但不是在TPR发生之前。一些州已经通过了允许恢复父母权利的立法。本文回顾了州立法包括的一系列因素，回顾了关于TPR如何影响青年的现有文献，并提出了减少非生产性TPR和增加及时恢复的几种方法。

期刊介绍： Decisions made in the practice of child welfare have lifelong effects on children and their entire families which in turn affects every facet of society. To effectively practice in this vital field, social workers, psychologists, counselors, juvenile court judges, attorneys, and other child welfare professionals need to stay informed about the latest findings and important issues in public child welfare. To answer this crucial need, the Journal of Public Child Welfare provides a broad forum for theory-based and applied research in child welfare. Rather than limit itself to primarily private agencies, this essential journal provides the quality research and comprehensive information that child welfare professionals and public agencies need most.
