The Department is currently preparing regulations for public comment regarding access to foster care records by adult former foster children who were not adopted and certain other individuals. Briefly, the proposed amendments provide specific procedures for granting access to records of former foster children by social services districts and voluntary child caring agencies. Currently, no such procedures exist, thereby requiring requests to be submitted to this Department, where they have for the most part been denied in the absence of regulatory standards. You will of course have the usual opportunity to comment on these proposed amendments.
