Children's Bureau Express Online Digest: New and Noteworthy Publications
When Congress enacted the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA), lawmakers did not specifically address how ASFA would apply to the legally unique population of Indian children in State and Tribal child welfare systems. This document explores the potential effects of ASFA on Indian children, families, and Tribes. The authors summarize and compare the legislative history and provisions of ASFA with the Indian Child Welfare Act, the primary Federal child protection law for Indian children. They consider how the two laws might mesh in practice. They also look at ways that ASFA might affect Tribal-operated child welfare programs and raise issues for consideration by policy makers and child welfare practitioners. The publication was prepared under a cooperative agreement with the Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ... [Read More]

Child Support Enforcement Abroad
A. If the foreign country in which the person, State agency, or other institution to which a child support is owed has a federal bilateral arrangement with the U.S. or a state level arrangement with the state of residence of the person who is obliged to pay child support, the foreign enforcement agency for international cases may contact the state child support agency in the designated state of residence of the person who is obliged to pay child.
