The nature and scope of the problems plaguing child welfare systems across the country make federal solutions especially urgent. A decade after enactment of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act (PL 96-272), legislation is pending that builds on its framework to enhance services and supports for vulnerable children and their families. The legislation reflects a growing consensus about the nature of the child welfare crisis and about the reform strategies that will be effective.
困扰全国儿童福利系统的问题的性质和范围使得联邦解决方案尤为紧迫。在《收养援助和儿童福利法》（第96 - 272号公法）颁布十年后，一项以其框架为基础以加强对弱势儿童及其家庭的服务和支持的立法正在审议中。该立法反映了人们对儿童福利危机的性质以及哪些改革策略将行之有效的共识日益增强。
