What does the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act not address?

1. Safety of children in custody

2. Preservation of parental rights

3. Timely placement of children

4. Review of case goals

The correct answer is: Preservation of parental rights

The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act primarily focuses on the safety of children in custody, timely placement of children into adoptive homes, and establishing regular reviews of case goals to ensure that children are receiving the appropriate services and support throughout their time in the foster care system. The aspect of parental rights is more about ensuring that children are with safe and suitable caretakers and does not specifically emphasize the preservation of those rights. While parental rights are important, the act itself does not primarily address their preservation but rather focuses on the outcomes for the children involved in the child welfare system. Thus, the correct identification of what the act does not address is aligned with this understanding.
