These are cases where states allege a child is neglected or abused and offer the parents the option to voluntarily give up custody, usually to a relative. The practice is pitched as a way to avoid traditional foster care and keep children within their extended families. Child welfare courts never get involved.

However, there’s little information about how often states intervene in families through this process because they are not required to report these cases to the federal government.

That would change under the bill Ossoff introduced with Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, titled the Foster Care Placement Transparency Act.

It’s all of the above.
