The Act provides for greater foster parent awareness and participation in permanency and placement determinations and establishes a 90-day limit after a child is removed from the home to conduct a search for blood relatives or others who have made an ongoing commitment to the child. Additionally, the Act authorizes consideration of permanently placing children in the custody of licensed public and private agencies or organizations.
