Abstract
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for an extension with no changes to a one-time study to examine familial outcomes 8 years or more 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. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval expires September 30, 2021, and this request is to extend approval to allow for the completion of data collection.

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for an
extension with no changes to a one-time study to examine familial
outcomes 8 years or more 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. Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval expires September 30, 2021, and this request is to extend
approval to allow for the completion of data collection.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Through this study, ACF is conducting web or telephone
surveys with adopted youth, young adults, and adults as well as
adoptive parents who were participants in the first or second cohort of
NSCAW (NSCAW I, II; OMB #0970-0202). The surveys are designed to
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. Due to the COVID-19
pandemic, initial activities to contact potential respondents were
delayed. As a result, ACF is requesting an extension to collect data
beyond the current OMB expiration date of September 30, 2021.
Respondents: Adopted youth, young adults, adults, and their
associated adoptive parents who participated in NSCAW I or II.
