Adoption And Safe Families Act of P.L (ASFA) ADOPTION AND SAFE FAMILIES ACT ASFA is a federal law and rules have been implemented by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families to interpret the provisions of ASFA. Missouri relies on federal funding from Title IV-E of the Social Security Act to fund foster care and other programs related to children. Initially, much of the requirements of ASFA were not a part of Missouri law per se, however, many of the provisions of ASFA have now been enacted in Missouri. Failure to comply with the requirements will result in reduction or loss of federal funding. CORE REQUIREMENTS: The first court order removing the child from the home must contain a judicial determination that continuation of the child in the home is contrary to the welfare of the child.
