  This project began in Fall 2020, when the 2020–21 New York Law School Family Law Quarterly Student Editors researched and prepared digests of selected 2020 Family Law cases that involved child custody and visitation during the first six months of the pandemic in the United States (from March through September 2020). The case summaries were initially included as part of the materials for an April 8, 2021, Family Law Quarterly virtual symposium event, Family Law During COVID-19: Challenges, Adaptations, and Future Impacts.

  BEYOND PERMANENCY ONE YEAR LATER: LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD | Challenges for Former Foster Youth and Legal Reform (2016)

  Diane Abbey Law Institute for Children and Families and The Children's Law Center

  This journal is an outgrowth of the October 2015 “Beyond Permanency: Challenges for Former Foster Youth” Symposium, to memorialize the work of that day, the work that has continued in its aftermath, and the work that is yet to be done. We know that foster care is a temporary situation for children when their parents need time or support to adequately care for them or the children need the system’s protection. We know that the goal is for children to be reunited with their biological families or, when reunification is impossible, to be adopted. Yet the foster care system lacks mechanisms to know if “permanency” has been achieved. On October 23, 2015, we listened and learned about challenges some former foster youth faced after adoption.
